Polar Bears Drop Blue Sox with Late Score
The Billings Polar Bears eked out a 6-5 win versus the Irving Blue Sox at The Igloo. Nobody did more than catcher Kelly Johnson, who captured player of the game honors. Billings reliever Howard Gross picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. John Ellis absorbed the loss. The win moves Billings to a record of 13-5.

The game came to a dramatic end. In the bottom of the ninth, with Billings trailing 5-3, Johnson hit a fastball from John Ellis for a 3-run home run, giving the Polar Bears the walk-off win.

Johnson expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
