Rapids Take Down Hammers, 6-3
Josh Spottswood had a 3-RBI game, during Sault Ste. Marie's 6-3 triumph over the Hamilton Hammers. Spottswood contributed 1 single and 1 home run to the cause. John Neaves was the winning pitcher. Over 9 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 9 hits, with 3 walks and 1 strikeout. The Hammers, 7-8, continue their so-so start to the 1897 season.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth when Spottswood, who is tied for 9th in the OBA in RBI with 11, hit a 2-run home run. It propelled the Rapids into the lead, 5-3.

"I don't lose sleep over a loss," said Spottswood. "But I have better dreams after a win."
