Athletic Club KC Academy Handled by Billings, 9-6
The 9-6 Billings win over Athletic Club KC Academy was due in large part to Chad Valdés. The Polar Bears left fielder went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winner in relief was Jesús Gamboa. The right-hander allowed 5 runs on 6 hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 2-1. Mo Huang recorded his 12th save for Billings.

The Polar Bears got an important contribution from first baseman Lance Price, who in the bottom of the third punched a 1-0 fastball into left for a 2-run double. It was his 5th double of the season and put the Polar Bears ahead, 4-1.

"We'll savor this win," Valdés told the Billings Today, "then get ready for the next game."

The Polar Bears, at 22-21, sit in 4th place in the Premier AA.
