Tigercats Improve to 18-14 with 7-6 Win
Tigercats designated hitter Ian McKibbins put his stamp on his team's 7-6 win over the Augusta Capitols. McKibbins went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times for Vail in the contest. The win was credited to Tim Surber in relief. His record improves to 4-0. Danny Barnett took the loss. Robert Hendricks earned the save for Vail, his 8th.

Alex Mejia went 1 for 3 with a walk for Vail. With one out and the game tied in the top of the seventh inning, Mejia had a clutch at-bat. Facing Augusta hurler Danny Barnett, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Tigercats a 7-6 lead.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Mejia, "but we got it done."

Vail now has a record of 18-14 with the win.
