Hippler Helps Tigercats Defeat Cavalry, 9-2
The Vail Tigercats defeated the St. Louis Cavalry, 9-2. Center Fielder Ken Hippler deserved a large share of the credit. Hippler was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Tigercats. The loss drops St. Louis to 9-11.

The Tigercats got an important contribution from left fielder Adam Cox, who in the bottom of the first punched a 0-2 splitter to left-center for a 3-run home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Tigercats ahead, 4-0.

"We took a roundhouse punch to the chin," said losing manager Leo Medina.
