Cyclones Drop Alpines, 5-4
The Mt. Vernon Cyclones picked up a win at Alpines Stadium, downing the Savannah Alpines, 5-4. On the mound for Mt. Vernon was left-hander Rafael Cruz, who played a pivotal role in the win. Bert Juarez earned the save for Mt. Vernon, his 1st. The 'W' lifts Mt. Vernon's record to 49-43.

Mt. Vernon used a clutch at-bat from Alex Perez to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cyclones ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Mt. Vernon manager Tom Whiting commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
