Potter Powers Hot N Readys to 8-5 Win
The Little Caesars Hot N Readys trumped the Marquette Miners, 8-5, at Marquette Stadium. Little Caesars first baseman Jason Potter was named player of the game for his performance. He was 4 for 4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The winner was Sam Groves, who threw 118 pitches over 7.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs on 12 hits. The Hot N Readys bumped their record to 45-42 with this latest triumph.

Carl Wheezer was a key contributor to the win for the Hot N Readys. In the top of the third with two out, the light-hitting second baseman stroked a double to left. He went 1-5 with a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"We were the better team today. Maybe that won't be the case next game, but we'll enjoy it for now," Wheezer told the Little Caesars Bulletin.
