The Billings Polar Bears converted a terrific effort from starter Hideki Takahashi into a win over the Virginia Beach Whales at The Igloo. The Polar Bears won the game by a final score of 3-1. Billings, at 42-31, occupies 4th place in the Menard's AA.

John Burkett drew 1 walk in 4 plate appearances for Billings. The 23-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring walk off Mario González. It was his 36th walk of the season.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Burkett.
