Mt. Vernon picked up a win at Mt. Vernon Grounds, bumping off the Savannah Alpines, 4-2. Pitcher Willie Ocasio was a major reason the Cyclones emerged victorious. The winner was Ocasio. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Casey Thill. Mt. Vernon now sports a record of 78-58.

Matthew Bridges drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate for Mt. Vernon. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the sixth inning, Bridges, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2024 draft, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Savannah hurler Casey Thill, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Cyclones a 3-2 lead.

Bridges attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."
