Tigercats Win with Late Rally
The Tigercats faced a stiff challenge from Sonoma pitcher Matt Brown, but persevered to claim a win at Vail Grounds. The final score was 1-0. Brown went 8 innings and allowed no runs. Vail reliever Robert Hendricks was the winner. His record is now 1-2. The losing pitcher was Cory Newton. The loss makes Sonoma 14-14.

Vail got a jolt from John Lucia. The second baseman ripped a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it brought the house down.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Lucia said.
