Late Rally by Bulls Locks Up 3-2 Win
Belleville got a strong outing from Vernon Álvarez as the Bulls defeated the Grand Forks Caterpillars, 3-2, at Belleville Field. Jonathan Luna was called on to finish, recording his 23rd save. At 46-38, the Bulls are currently third in the Menard's A.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Jim Nance came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Grand Forks pitcher Jesús Gamboa, he hit a 2-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Belleville on top, 3-2.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Grand Forks manager Steve Ferguson. "But we decided not to take it."
