Tigercats Take Down Bulldogs, 1-0
The Vail Tigercats gave their fans something to talk about with a thrilling, walk-off win.

Right-hander Brett Emma mesmerized the Hamilton Bulldogs while leading the Vail Tigercats to a 1-0 victory. Jimmy Redmond earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 1-5.

Nate Grooms played the role of hero for Vail. In the bottom of the ninth, he launched a solo home run off Dave Combs to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was the decisive blow.

Vail manager Mike Alexander praised his team's "businesslike approach."

The third-place Tigercats bumped their record to 36-29.
