Tigercats Pick Up 5-2 Win
Vail got a strong outing from Joel Daniels as the Tigercats defeated the Hamilton Bulldogs, 5-2, at Vail Grounds. The winner was Daniels. He threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was Edwardo Rodriguez. Robert Hendricks recorded his 29th save for Vail.

Ian McKibbins's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with runners on 1st and 3rd and the game tied, 1-1. The Vail designated hitter hit a run-scoring single off Edwardo Rodriguez to put the Tigercats up.

"It wasn't a very good day at the ballpark," said Hamilton manager Tony Velez.

The 4th-place Tigercats have won 4 straight.
