Bums triple up Freedom

Reese notches his fourth win of season

TRAVERSE CITY -- Traverse City's Kevin Reese went six strong innings and the bullpen locked things down from there to preserve a 3-1 victory over Florence.

Reese (4-1) struck out three and gave up five hits. David Hurst came on and fanned three in two scoreless innings and Jeff Williams hurled a 1-2-3 ninth for the league-leading eighth save of the season.

The Beach Bums scored two runs in the fourth on an RBI groundout by John Alonso and an Mike Victor RBI single, giving Victor eight RBIs in his last four games. Patrick Perry singled in the fifth and later scored on a wild pitch.

Alonso had three of the Bums' eight hits. Brian Lapin extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single in the fourth innings. In other TC hit streaks, Victor is now at eight, James Guerrero six and Perry five.
