Behind an impressive start by Chris Cartwright, Bowling Green beat West Michigan, 2-1. Joey Crawford got credit for the save for Bowling Green. It was his 5th of the year. The Bowling Green win streak is now 3 games.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Hot Rods had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when shortstop Humberto Sanabria hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Kenneth Creasy and made the score 1-0, Hot Rods. Sanabria went 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"That's how you're going to be successful," said Hot Rods manager Ernesto Torre. "It starts with pitching and it will always be pitching."
