Polar Bears Turn Back Ottawa, 4-3
Nationals Park was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Billings Polar Bears and the Ottawa Nationals.

The Billings Polar Bears relied on the hitting of catcher Fokke Willemsen to stop the Ottawa Nationals, 4-3. For the game, Willemsen went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. Billings reliever Jim Unknown picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Rafael Peralta shouldered the loss.

The most critical at-bat came in the top of the ninth inning. With no one out, Víctor Fortis hit a 1-0 sinker from Rafael Peralta for a solo home run. It put Billings in front, 4-3.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Willemsen said.

With the win over Ottawa, the Polar Bears improved to 35-33.
