Apr. 26—GRAND HAVEN TWP. — After letting the opener of Saturday's morning doubleheader get away from them, it was Grand Haven's bats and bullpen that earned them a split against Montague.

After some defensive struggles that coach Mike Hansen considered 'ugly' in the middle innings of the first game — a 10-4 loss — the Buccaneer defense settled down for just one error in Game 2. Four scoreless innings from the bullpen earned a split in a 6-4 victory.
