Tigercats Drop Firecats, 8-4, with Late Score
Vail Tigercats starter Aaron Daniels pitched effectively against the Hialeah Firecats at Firecats Ballpark. The right-hander spearheaded his team's 8-4 win. Daniels got the win, improving to 8-7. He gave up 8 hits and walked 1 over 8.1 innings. He allowed 4 runs. The save was Justin Brownlee's, his 3rd.

Vail used the timely hitting of Curtis Rittenberry to capture the win. The first baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Tigercats on top, 8-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

Rittenberry told the Vail News: "Win or lose, I don't want to see our team outhustled."

The Tigercats bumped their record to 64-45 with this latest triumph.
