Slumping Firecats Lose 12th Straight
The London Tigers beat the Hialeah Firecats, 4-3, at Firecats Ballpark. Ed Montes de Oca starred for London. He was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Picking up the win was Mario Salazar. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits. The left--hander struck out 7 and walked 1. Sean Middleton closed out the game, earning his 9th save.

London took advantage of an error in the top of the eighth inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Justin Romer hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Tigers in front, 4-3.

"I felt good up there," said Romer. "I saw the ball well."

The Firecats, now 38-100, have lost 12 in a row.
