Expos Suffer 5-1 Loss to Caterpillars
The Cocoon was the site of a competitive game between the Niagara Falls Expos and Grand Forks Caterpillars.

The Grand Forks Caterpillars scored a 5-1 win versus the Niagara Falls Expos at The Cocoon. Grand Forks pitcher Jim Unknown nabbed top player honors in the tight contest. Grand Forks's record now stands at 29-31, placing them 6th in the Menard's A.

A key at-bat in the game came in the bottom of the seventh inning when the Caterpillars sent teenager Pierre Bernard to the plate against Expos hurler Jorge Alarcon. With runners on 1st and 2nd and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a single off a first pitch fastball to score 1.

Unknown told the Grand Forks Daily News: "I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more.' You win just by scoring more runs."
