Voyagers Rough Up Mustangs, 8-1
The Great Falls Voyagers defeated the Billings Mustangs, 8-1, at Centene Stadium. Great Falls left fielder Fernando Durant had a superb performance. He went 3-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 6. The winning pitcher was Carlos Bennett. He tossed 118 pitches over 8.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits. The third-place Mustangs have lost 4 straight games.

Great Falls took a 7-1 lead on Durant's 3rd home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Damian Edwards in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Great Falls to the win.

"I thought we played a nice game," Durant told the Great Falls Herald. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
