Yellows Get Past Grand Forks for 4-3 Win
The Grand Forks Caterpillars got a superb performance from pitcher Horace Bender. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Yucca Valley. The Yellows won the game, 4-3. Bender threw 5.1 innings of 3-hit ball. Reliever Patrick Martin picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. Mo Huang took the loss. Earning his 7th save of the year was José Vargas.

The outcome might have been different for Yucca Valley, had it not been for Ed Lewis, the 23-year old shortstop . Lewis stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Yucca Valley up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

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

The Yellows, now 13-6, have been playing some good baseball.
