Bulldogs Deal Tigercats 7-3 Defeat
Hamilton third baseman Aaron Helgason was instrumental in helping the Bulldogs triumph, 7-3, over the Vail Tigercats. Helgason went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The win elevated the Bulldogs to 83-57.

Hamilton used the timely hitting of Jarrod LaCasse to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bulldogs on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Helgason.
