ValleyCats Thwart Ironbirds, 3-2
The Tri-City ValleyCats earned a close win over the Aberdeen Ironbirds, thanks in part to Matt Myers. The Tri-City right-hander, who is tied for 5th in the NYP in quality starts with 6, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Myers, now 2-5, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 4, walking 3, and allowing 2 runs. The ValleyCats now own a record of 22-26.

Tri-City used the clutch hitting of Jim Unknown to snag the win. The second baseman drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the ValleyCats ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Unknown told the Tri-City Chronicle. "You win just by scoring more runs."
