KCC Bruins Roll Macomb, Stay In Regional Hunt

The Kellogg Community College Bruins baseball team didn't need much time to trounce the Macomb Community College Monarchs Thursday with a 13-3 victory in five innings. The win sets up a battle among the top two seeds in the National Junior College Athletic Association Region 12 Tournament in the double-elimination brackets.

Travis Bolen (Watervliet) continues his hot hitting in the tournament, driving in five runs including a grand slam in the fourth inning on his 2-for-3 day. All but one Bruin starter had at least a hit on the day.

Tate Brawley (Niles) threw all five innings for the win on the mound, allowing four hits and fanning four.
