TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - The Richmond Flying Mummies mounted a late push Thursday night but could not overcome an early deficit, falling 5-3 to the Traverse City Pit Spitters at Turtle Creek Stadium. Richmond (15-17) trailed 5-0 after five innings before scoring twice in the sixth and adding another run in the seventh, but the comeback stalled as Traverse City (20-12) closed out the victory.

The Mummies broke through in the sixth after back-to-back singles from Phillips and Fry put runners aboard. Eli Bennett drove in Phillips on a fielder's choice before Cal Schembra came home on a Traverse City error to cut the deficit to 5-2. Richmond added another run in the seventh when DeBoskie singled home DJ Scheumann.
Traverse City built its advantage early against Richmond starter Dillon Eden (0-3), who suffered the loss after allowing five runs on six hits across 5.1 innings while striking out six.
