Tigercats Get Clutch 11-9 Win
Vail Grounds was the site of quite a ballgame.

The Vail Tigercats beat the Miami Boll Weevils, 11-9, in 19 innings. Vail third baseman and Cleveland Heights, Ohio, native Tony Suarez led the way. The 5th-place Tigercats sport a record of 72-64.

The game-ending blow was delivered by Nate Grooms in the bottom of the 19th. That's when he hit a 2-run home run off 22-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win it for Vail and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

"You have to trust that what you're doing is going to produce results," said Suarez.
