The Montgomery Missions downed the Mt. Vernon Cyclones, 8-5, in 11 innings at Mt. Vernon Grounds. The Missions were led by Chris Hipkins. Hipkins went 3 for 5 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Montgomery reliever Jeff O'Donovan was the winner. His record is now 5-6. The losing pitcher was Mike Crain. Montgomery, at 40-55, sits in last place in the Sub League 2 East Division.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Hipkins delivered big-time for Montgomery, stroking a dramatic bases-clearing triple off Mike Crain. The game-changing hit put the Missions on top, 7-4.

"Every time I go up there, I try and hit a ball hard," said Hipkins.
