Polar Bears Upend Thunder, 4-2
Opening day festivities have begun throughout the league. Fans of the St. Petersburg Thunder were eager to watch Stan Coffey square off against Alan Lyons of the visiting Billings Polar Bears. In the end, the Polar Bears won the game, 4-2, with Rafael Cruz leading the way. Thomas Reed got the save, the 1st for him this season.

Billings took a 3-0 lead on Cruz's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Patrick Bowman in the top of the eighth, propelled Billings to the win.

"It was a solid team effort," said Cruz after the game.
