Traverse City, MI - For the fourth consecutive game, the Traverse City Pit Spitters worked from behind, coming back to win the series finale against the Rockford Rivets 10-4 and sweep the home stand.

Every starting pitcher thus far has recorded four strikeouts.

Colin Summerhill tied the game in the first with an RBI triple. Keeping the triple train rolling, Miles Simington tripled home Trey Truitt to take the lead in the fifth, and the Pit Spitters would keep that lead the rest of the way.
