Godfathers Snag 3-1 Win
Pontiac Godfathers starter Mike Thornton was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Grand Forks Caterpillars, 3-1. Reliever Joe Allen picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. George King took the loss. The Caterpillars fall to 5-7 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2045 season.

Pontiac took a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, when Barnes Libbinga hit a clutch 2-run home run to bring Godfathers fans to their feet.

Libbinga said his team "played with focus."
