Philadelphia right fielder Jesse Miller was instrumental in helping the Liberty Academy triumph, 9-8, over the Billings Polar Bears.

Philadelphia, now 24-27, holds down 8th place in the Silver AA.

In the bottom of the ninth, with two out and the game tied, 8-8, 27-year old shortstop Andre Cowan won it for Philadelphia. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Cowan hit a first pitch changeup from Aukthya Shalabh for a run-scoring single, giving his team the 9-8 win.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Philadelphia skipper Clarence Miller.
