Buck$ Knock Off Cleveland, 8-2
The 8-2 Border City win over Cleveland was due in large part to Frode Willems. The Buck$ center fielder was 2-4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. The winning pitcher was George Connolly. His record is now 3-3. The right-hander went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits for the Buck$. For the Spiders, the loss makes them 11-19.

With Border City leading 5-2 in the top of the eighth, Willems hit a fastball from Man-u Kim for a 3-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Buck$ ahead, 8-2.

Said losing manager Rodrigo Hernández: "Give the Buck$ credit. They took advantage of our mistakes."
