Caterpillars Get Win, Extend Streak to 5
The Grand Forks Caterpillars scored a 5-4 win versus the Hammond Herons at The Cocoon. Grand Forks pitcher Jim Unknown nabbed top player honors in the tight contest. Unknown went 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 3, and struck out 3. His record improves to 1-0. Jim Unknown was credited with the save for Grand Forks, his 1st of the season.

Carlos Romero was a key contributor to the win for the Caterpillars. In the bottom of the fourth with one out, the light-hitting first baseman stroked a home run to left. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

Unknown told the Grand Forks Bulletin: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."

Grand Forks has now won 5 games in a row.
