Battlekings Get Past Pure Michigan for 6-4 Win
The inspired effort of Pure Michigan first baseman Juan Rodríguez was not enough to prevent a 6-4 loss to the Naperville Battlekings. Rodríguez was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The Battlekings improve their record to 33-63 with the win over Pure Michigan.

Philip Strickland's hit in the top of the ninth was a game-changer. With two out, he rapped a fastball from Royce Bradshaw for a run-scoring single. It put Naperville in front, 5-4.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Strickland.
