Caterpillars Win, 6-1, Versus Yucca Valley
Grand Forks catcher Bernardete Espero made his presence felt in the 6-1 Caterpillars triumph over the Yucca Valley Yellows. Espero was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The winner in relief was Fernando Ortega. He is now 1-1. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. The 7th-place Caterpillars bumped their record to 41-43.

Grand Forks took a 6-1 lead on Espero's 3rd home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Luis Mojica in the top of the eighth, propelled Grand Forks to the win.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Espero told the Grand Forks News. "It's as simple as that."
