Brewers Nipped, 4-1, by Billings
The 4-1 Billings win over Helena was due in large part to Steve Sickle. The Mustangs left fielder went 3-3 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Denes Papadias finished the game for Billings and earned his 2nd save. Billings has a record of 28-40, placing them last in the North.

Sickle had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 fastball from Fernando Sierra, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Mustangs a 4-1 lead. It was the 6th home run of the year for Sickle.

Sickle told a Billings Gazette reporter that the win made him feel "terrific."
