The Montana Pandas downed the Chicago Gold Sox, 9-5, at Panda Park. The Pandas were led by Héctor Cortéz, who captured player of the game honors. He was 4 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Montana reliever Jake O'Tomalty was credited with the win, to go to 1-2. Juan Júlio took the loss for Chicago. Montana improves to 67-40 with the win. They lead their division by 3 games.

The outcome might have been different had it not been for Cortéz. In the bottom of the seventh inning, when the Pandas were trailing 5-4, Cortéz delivered a two-out 2-run double for Montana, giving his team the lead.

"We maximized our offense today," said Montana skipper Andrew Schupick. "That makes everyone's life easier."
