The Grand Forks Caterpillars defeated the Niagara Falls Expos, 9-1, at The Cocoon. Grand Forks designated hitter Víctor Fortis was named player of the game for his superb performance. He went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Grand Forks reliever Jesús Orozco picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Ammuc Mwenda absorbed the loss. Grand Forks is 6th in the Menard's A with a record of 28-31.

Fortis had a key at-bat for Grand Forks early in the game. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, he hit a 2-run single. It was his 48th hit of the season and gave Grand Forks an early 2-0 lead.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Fortis.
