Sparks Lifts Fighting Imps to 11-8 Win
The Ithaca Fighting Imps relied on the hitting of shortstop Jeffrey Sparks to stop the Billings Polar Bears, 11-8. For the game, Sparks was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Ithaca is third in the Premier AA with a record of 29-24.

Ithaca used a timely hit from Bob Fox to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Fighting Imps ahead, 9-8. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Fighting Imps manager Albert Pérez. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
