Vermont Edges Crosscutters, 8-7, Castro Clutch
Tony Castro was instrumental in his team's 8-7 triumph over the Williamsport Crosscutters. The right fielder went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Vermont Lake Monsters. Damian Kline earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. He upped his record to 1-1. Vermont has won 3 straight, while Williamsport has lost 3 in a row.

Chet Smith was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Vermont. The 23-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring walk off Walt Randall. It was his 25th walk of the season.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Smith said.
