Firecats Take Down Tigercats, 5-4
Hialeah third baseman Derrick Banford picked up 3 ribbies while helping his team beat back the Vail Tigercats, 5-4. Armando Salas, now 3-6, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. With the win, Hialeah goes to 33-69, while the Tigercats fall to 56-46.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Tigercats allowed the Firecats to score the winning run.

Hialeah manager John Costa commended his team for exhibiting "no shortage of effort."
