Polar Bears Earn Clutch Win, 3-2
The Billings Polar Bears earned a close win over the Yakima Hops, thanks in part to Juan Juárez. The Billings left-hander played a key role in the 3-2 victory. The 7th-place Polar Bears hiked their record to 49-44.

John Burkett went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Billings. With one out and the game tied in the top of the tenth inning, Burkett had a clutch at-bat. Facing Yakima hurler Joe Anderson, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Polar Bears a 3-2 lead.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Billings skipper César Guerra.
