Normal CornBelters News Release
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - The Normal CornBelters, presented by Illinois Corn Farmers, did not support a complete game three-hitter from Mike Schweiss and lost 1-0 to the Traverse City Beach Bums on Tuesday night at Wuerfel Park.
Pitchers ruled until the Beach Bums finally broke onto the scoreboard in the seventh inning with a lead-off single by Alex Tomasovich, who was sacrificed to second and singled home by Reggie Lawson.
Alex Phillips (2-2) earned the win in relief of starter Anthony Montefusco, who left in the fourth inning with an apparent injury. Andrew Brockett allowed a lead-off single by Mark Micowski but stranded the Belter at second base to pick up his 17th save.
Schweiss (4-7) recorded the third complete game of the season for the CornBelters, but the second complete game loss. He gave up three hits while striking out seven without a walk.
