Yellows Flatten Caterpillars, 9-2
The Yucca Valley Yellows beat the Grand Forks Caterpillars by a score of 9-2. Yucca Valley designated hitter Fernando López deserved the lion's share of the credit. López was 3 for 6 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the Yellows. Picking up the win was Bill Grant. He went 7.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits. The left--hander struck out 5 and walked 2. The 7th-place Caterpillars have lost 4 consecutive games.

With Yucca Valley leading 5-2 in the top of the ninth, López hit a cutter from Alard Elst for a grand slam home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Yellows ahead, 9-2.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Ernest Orr said.
