Hot N Readys Walk It Off for 33rd Win of Season
Little Caesars Hot N Readys starter Sam Groves was in fine form against the Marquette Miners at The Pizza Oven, leading his team to a 4-3 win. The Hot N Readys bumped their record to 33-33 with this latest triumph.

Little Caesars took a 4-3 lead on Daniel Molina's 1st hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Molina hit in the bottom of the tenth, left Marquette pitcher Don Bender shaking his head.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Coy Knight, the Little Caesars skipper. "This one tested us."
