Polar Bears Stick MotorBoaters with 5-1 Loss
The Billings Polar Bears downed the Lake Murray MotorBoaters, 5-1, at The Igloo. Stellar pitching by Edwin Rice had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the SAA with a 1.59 ERA, handcuffed his opponent all game. Rice got the win, improving to 7-4. He gave up 7 hits and walked 0 over 6 innings. He allowed 1 run. With the win, Billings pushed its record to 43-31.

Craig Stafford chipped in a 2-run home run for Billings in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Rice. "Successful pitchers do it."
