Tigercats Earn 3-2 Win Versus Bombardiers
The Vail Tigercats faced a tenacious opponent in Cincinnati pitcher Lorenzo Guerra, but still scratched out a win at Vail Grounds by a final score of 3-2 in 10 innings. Guerra went 7.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. Vail reliever Ismael Resendez picked up the win, while Ryan Johnson took the loss for Cincinnati. The Tigercats now own a record of 52-52.

Vail got a knockout punch from Rich Lewis. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

Vail manager Mike Alexander called it "a good, solid win."
