Traverse City, MI - The Traverse City Pit Spitters continue to be the hottest team in the Northwoods League as they win their ninth game in a row against the Rockford Rivets, 6-2, Tuesday evening at Turtle Creek Stadium.

The starting pitching continues to be the headline for the Pit Spitters during their winning streak as Trevor Landen threw a seven-inning complete game, striking out eight batters in game one of the doubleheader against the Rivets.

Rockford put together a two-out rally in the bottom of the first inning as it began with a double to left field by Harrison Bowman before Gavin Taylor drove him in on an RBI double to left field to give the Rivets a 1-0 lead. In the next at-bat, the doubles continued to rain down as Cooper Hinson drove in Taylor on a double to left field to extend the Rivets lead to 2-0. After a quick start to the ballgame, the Spitters offense got hot in the top of the third inning. Grady Mee drove in the first run of the game on a base hit to left field to pull the Spitters within 2-1. Isaac Sturgess proved why he is the most clutch in the lineup as he doubled to left field to drive in a pair of runs giving the Spitters a 3-2 lead. Aaron Piasecki joined in on the action by driving in a run on a single to right field to extend their lead to 4-2 in the top of the fifth inning. An inning later, Andrew Mack collected his first RBI of the season with a base hit to right field scoring Trent Reed to make it 5-2. To cap it off, Piasecki stole home during Cade Collins at-bat to give the game it's final score of 6-2.

Traverse City extends their winning streak to nine, making it the third longest winning streak in franchise history while improving to 34-19 overall and 13-6 in the second half. Rockford falls to 23-19 overall and 6-10 in the second half. Trevor Landen (2-4) earned his second win of the season with a complete game, where he allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out eight batters: a new career high. Connor Clark (0-1) was handed his first loss of the season after four and a third innings where he allowed four runs on five hits while striking out five.
