Neither team scored again until the ninth. Traverse City had a good chance in the sixth when they loaded the bases with one out on three singles. Fisher got out of the jam with a strikeout and a groundout. Windy City’s best chance after the fourth came in the seventh inning when White hit a flyball to the wall.
