Rock 'Em! Sock 'Em! Vaughn Blasts 3 Homers in White Deer Win
The White Deer Tropics defeated the Atlanta Aggies, 8-7, in part because of catcher Joel Vaughn. Vaughn hit 3 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring three times for the Tropics. The win went to Seth Hason in relief, making him now 4-1. Jim Unknown took the loss for Atlanta. Now 19-56, Atlanta has lost 12 in a row.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Vaughn delivered big-time for White Deer, stroking a dramatic 2-run home run off Jim Unknown. The game-changing hit put the Tropics on top, 8-6.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Tropics manager Brendan Rees. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
