Cats Win Thriller, 4-3
The Fort Worth Cats scored a tight, 4-3 win versus the Billings Mustangs at LaGrave Field. Fort Worth pitcher Larry Viola held his own in the contest. The win went to Terry Dunne in relief, making him now 3-1. Ernie Nielsen took the loss for Billings. The loss makes Billings 27-39.

Fort Worth got a clutch hit from Jake Tovrea. The pinch hitter launched a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a kill shot.

"We scored more than enough runs this time," said Fort Worth manager Dudha Goli. "Now watch. The next game we'll probably struggle to get a base hit."
