Hops Drop Another One
Yakima left fielder Tokaji Heida had a good game, even if his team did not. The Hops dropped a 8-4 decision to Billings at The Igloo. Heida was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 runs. Arturo Cuellar locked down his 2nd save. With the win, Billings goes to 6-8.

The Hops had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Polar Bears going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old second baseman Luke Crawford came to the plate. Crawford hit a 2-run single on a 1-2 fastball from Yakima hurler Howard Gross. It was Crawford's 23rd hit of the year.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Phillip Tinker. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."
