Billings Tags Peoria with 5-3 Defeat
Despite a fine performance by designated hitter Bob O'Connor, the Peoria Caterpillars lost to the Billings Mustangs, 5-3. O'Connor was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. John Koch was the winner. He's now 1-0. The loser was Alex Jimenez. The Caterpillars, at 37-56, have lost 5 straight games.

It could have been a different outcome for Billings, had it not been for George Keller, the 24-year old right fielder . Keller contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put Billings up, 1-0.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Keller. "And not try to do too much."
