Helena, MT - Tonight the Great Falls White Sox defeated the Helena Brewers 6-4 at Kindrick Field in Helena. Noe Rodriguez (0-2) took the loss as he worked only an inning plus, allowing three runs. The win went to Derek Miller (1-0) as he worked six innings allowing only three hits.
The Brewers scored first in the second inning when they got a three-run homerun from Brad Willcutt. Later in the inning, Darren Ford added an inside the park homerun to put Helena up 4-0.
