Tigers Stay Hot With 7-4 Win
The Connecticut Tigers topped the Brooklyn Cyclones, 7-4, with youngster Brian Kroll playing a key role. Kroll went 3 for 3 with a triple, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 3 times for the Tigers in the win. Jonathan Grossmann, who went 6.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 2 runs on 2 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 6. His record now stands at 1-0. The first-place Tigers have won 7 straight games.

The game was on the line with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning, but Aaron Griffith didn't flinch. With runners on 1st and 3rd and Brooklyn trailing 5-4, Griffith retired Alvaro Polanco to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Griffith, with a wink.
