Caterpillars Take Down River Rats, 8-4
The Grand Forks Caterpillars topped the Columbia River Rats, 8-4, in USSL Single A action at Columbia Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Grand Forks pitcher Benton Johnston. Grand Forks reliever Mo Huang picked up the win, upping his record to 4-1. Wes Bailey absorbed the loss. Grand Forks has now won 3 straight, while the River Rats have lost 4 in a row.

Grand Forks used the timely hitting of Mark Howell to capture the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 11th inning to put the Caterpillars on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Good win for us, tough loss for them," said Howell.
