Boll Weevils Roll Past Tigercats, 8-1
The Miami Boll Weevils defeated the Vail Tigercats, 8-1, in part because of catcher Kevin Johnson. Johnson was 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Boll Weevils. The Boll Weevils, at 38-74, have now won 4 straight.

With Miami leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Johnson hit a run-scoring double off Vail hurler Adam Williams. It was the 6th double of the season for Johnson and put his team ahead, 2-0.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Johnson.
