Tigercats Take Down Bombardiers, 9-5
The Vail Tigercats beat the Cincinnati Bombardiers, 9-5, with major props going to center fielder Ken Hippler. On the day, Hippler went 4 for 7 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Tigercats. The win went to Tim Surber in relief, making him now 1-0. Jason Berry took the loss for Cincinnati. Vail has a record of 2-1.

Vail needed the clutch hitting of John Thaxton to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the 14th inning to put the Tigercats on top, 8-5. For the game, Thaxton had 1 home run and 1 single in 7 at-bats.

"Sometimes winning takes more than 27 outs," said Tigercats manager Mike Alexander.
