Tigers Win, 7-4, Versus Milkmen
The London Tigers polished off the Vermont Milkmen by the score of 7-4. The largest share of the credit belonged to first baseman Dustin Merkley. Merkley was 1 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Tigers. London sits in third place in the Western AA Central Division at 68-57.

London used a well-timed hit by Ed Montes de Oca to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Montes de Oca.
