Valdés Delivers Walk-Off Win for Polar Bears
Polar Bears fans were treated to an exciting walk-off win.

Orel Vodarsky did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Asheville Highlanders from losing, 5-4, to the Billings Polar Bears at The Igloo. Vodarsky was 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles. The winner in relief was Nelson Shaffer. He is now 1-5. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2.1 innings.

The game ended with a bang. In the bottom of the ninth, with Billings trailing 4-3, Chad Valdés jumped on a 2-1 changeup from Carlos Maldonado for a 2-run home run, sending the Polar Bears to a walk-off win.

"This joint was rocking," said Valdés.

The Polar Bears now have a record of 38-42 with the win over Asheville.
