Late Offense Lifts Billings to 5-3 Victory
The Billings Polar Bears beat the Virginia Beach Whales, 5-3, at Virginia Beach Grounds. The Polar Bears got a fine performance from shortstop Lanny Oliver, who was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Billings reliever Juan Juárez was the winner. His record is now 3-1. Jim Lee took the loss. The 4th-place Polar Bears have a record of 43-32.

Had Oliver not come through in the top of the eighth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Oliver hit a 2-run home run. The Polar Bears took the lead, 5-3, and never looked back.

Billings manager César Guerra was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard, they played all the way through," he said.
