Aviles takes advantage of opportunity, slams Vermont past Dallas




SS Mike Aviles has spent most of the season hitting 9th in the order, but was promoted to leadoff following Coco Crisp's struggles.

With his team down 3-2 in the 4th, Aviles hit a grand slam giving Vermont the lead and the cushion needed to hold on for the 6-4 win.

Albert Pujols went 3-4 and upped his average to .418.

In a close game the sizzling Vermont Fighting Sioux got by the Dallas Ft Worth
Spurs by the score of 6 to 4.

The Vermont fans enjoyed the offense provided by Mike Aviles. He doubled in
the 1st inning and launched a Grand Slam homerun (his 2nd of the season) in
the 4th inning. Despite losing, Dallas Ft Worth out-hit Vermont 14 to 9.

The win went to Ubaldo Jimenez(3-1) who allowed 4 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings.
Hideki Okajima gained credit for his 1st save. Jamie Moyer(1-1) was tagged
with the loss. Vermont scored big getting 6 runs off him in 3 and 2/3

'I was a little good, a little bad and a little ugly.' said Jimenez, 'I was
just giving us a chance to win.'
