Tigercats Get Past Hialeah for 4-3 Win
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Vail Tigercats got the win.

Eddie Mongold had an impact in the 4-3 Vail win over Hialeah. The 22-year old first baseman drew 5 walks in 5 plate appearances. The Tigercats improved to 40-39.

Vail used the timely hitting of Jake Myers to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Tigercats on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

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