Tigercats Rally to Nose Past Hialeah
There was no shortage of dramatics at Vail Grounds.

The Vail Tigercats found a way to sneak past the Hialeah Firecats, 3-2, in 11 innings. Vail pitcher Mike Bruce, for one, had a standout performance. T.J. Grimm was the winner in relief. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was John Wright.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Vail center fielder Ken Hippler, facing John Wright, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Tigercats the 3-2 win.

"We just didn't score enough runs to win," said Hialeah manager John Costa.

The first-place Firecats have lost 5 straight games.
