Down to Defeat Goes Vermont, 8-3
Cincinnati picked up a win at Emeralds Ballpark, bumping off the Vermont Milkmen, 8-3. Pitcher Bill Samples was a major reason the Bombardiers emerged victorious. Samples got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 5 hits and walked 3 over 7.2 innings. He allowed 3 runs. Cincinnati, with the win, sits at 23-43.

Cincinnati used a clutch at-bat from Leo Carballo to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Bombardiers ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It was our day today," Carballo told the Cincinnati Herald. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
