Traverse City, MI - The Traverse City Pit Spitters win game two against the Kalamazoo Growlers, 6-2, to split the series.
For the final game of the homestand the pitchers were showing out, and the Pit Spitters Grant Garman was headlining the duel. Garman, who was in his final start with the Pit Spitters, continued his untouchable start to the season. He threw six scoreless innings, allowing five hits, no walks while striking out two. Continuing the shutout, Grant Comstock came in out of the bullpen. He threw two and a third innings, striking out two while allowing one walk before coming out of the game due to an injury.

The only offense for either side came in the bottom of the sixth inning for the Pit Spitters. Charlie Iriotakis and Cade Collins both drew walks and Brooks Sartain singled to load the bases with one out. Alfredo Velaquez in his first game back with the Pit Spitters singled to plate Iriotakis to give them a 1-0 lead. The hits kept coming as Aaron Piasecki singled, scoring Sartain to extend the Pit Spitters lead to 2-0.
