SAUGET, IL — Coming off a pair of tough weekend losses, the Gateway Grizzlies got a much-needed, bounce-back win Tuesday night, when they defeated the visiting Mississippi Mud Monsters, 9-3, in a Frontier League baseball game at Arsenal BG Ballpark.
Gateway pounded out 10 hits, including a game-high three by All-Star catcher Jose Alvarez and two each by fellow All-Stars D.J. Stewart and Victor Castillo.
Stewart also smashed a three-run homer — his team-leading 16th of the season — that helped the Grizzlies build a 9-0 lead.
Starting pitcher Lukas Veinbergs tossed five shutout innings and allowed just four hits and two walks, with eight strikeouts to get the win. The veteran former University of Missouri star is now 5-3 on the season, with wins in each of his last three decisions.

The win pushed Gateway’s overall season record to 44-28 and pulled them a game closer to the Schaumburg Boomers in the Frontier League West Division standings. The Grizzlies are now 1 1/2 games back.
Gateway will play the second game of their three-game set on Wednesday. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
