Polar Bears Fell Whales, 5-4
The Billings Polar Bears did just enough to sneak past the Virginia Beach Whales, 5-4, at The Igloo. Billings pitcher Jesús Gamboa, in particular, had a standout performance. In 6.1 innings, Gamboa surrendered 1 hit, while striking out 3 and walking 3. He allowed no runs. Mo Huang was credited with the save for Billings, his 16th of the season.

Ernesto Vázquez dealt the Whales a blow in the bottom of the fifth. Batting with runners on 1st and 3rd and Billings leading 4-0, Vázquez hit a first pitch slider for a run-scoring single.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Virginia Beach manager Marv Bradford. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."

The Polar Bears move to 29-38 with the win, while the Whales drop to 28-39.
