Spartans Capture Close Win
Spartans right fielder Jay Helmke left his imprint on his team's 5-4 win over the Rock River Rats. Helmke was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. He scored 2 times for Sandy Springs in the contest. Kenny Holloway earned the win to go to 10-7. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts in 8 innings of work. Sandy Springs is now 82-68, Rock River 91-58.

Sandy Springs took a 5-4 lead on Jeremy Tipton's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Tipton hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Rock River pitcher Brett Bunn visibly frustrated.

"We'll hit the hot tub in good spirits tonight," said Helmke.
