CRUISERS STRAND NINE WHILE BEACH BUMS MAKE THEIR HITS COUNT IN 8-1 WIN OVER OAKLAND COUNTY

Still struggling to score runs, the Oakland County Cruisers outhit the Traverse City Beach Bums 10 to 7 last night but left nine runners on the base paths.  Meanwhile, Traverse City scored three runs on just four hits thru the first seven innings to lead 3-1 and then busted the game open in the 8th by putting up a 5-spot as the Bums won going away 8-1.

Andres Esquibel (5-3) was the losing pitcher and, uncharacteristically, allowed 5 walks.  Two costly errors by the Cruisers made all but two of Traverse City’s runs unearned.  The Beach Bums’ eighth frame was highlighted by a 2-run homer from third baseman Jonathan Alia.

The clubs square off again this evening with Oakland County’s Wayde Kitchens (4-2) facing Traverse City’s Enrique Lechuga (5-3).

The Cruisers return home over the weekend to face the Washington Wild Things at Ford Field (Farmington Road just south of 5 Mile) in the City of Livonia.  On Saturday, the teams play a twi-night double header starting at 4:00 pm.  Sunday is a single game beginning at 2:00 pm.  Admission is free with the purchase of a $2.00 souvenir Cruisers scorecard program.
