Eclipse Edge Past Little Caesars, 4-3
The Northville Eclipse racked up a win at The Pizza Oven, bumping off the Little Caesars Hot N Readys, 4-3. Oliver De Jesús, who started for Northville, pitched effectively for his team. Jamel Rhoads earned save number 9. The Hot N Readys, at 46-51, have lost 5 straight games.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Alfonso Grappasonni came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Little Caesars pitcher Juan Contreras, he hit a 0-1 curveball for a run-scoring double. It was a game-changer, putting Northville on top, 4-3.

De Jesús told the Northville Herald: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
