Vermont answers NJT's 9th inning rally with one of its own




With the score tied at 6 after 8, the offenses took over. New Jersey plated 3 in the top but a persistent Sioux squad had all 6 of their batters reach base safely in the bottom of the 9th with Albert Pujols getting the GWRBI on a double off J Howell.

Albert Pujols had 4 hits and 3 RBI at Fighting Sioux Field as the Vermont
Fighting Sioux won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the New Jersey
Trash Heap by the count of 10 to 9.

Vermont came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning as they scored 4 runs
on 4 base hits. The critical plate appearance was by Raul Ibanez who made
the Vermont fans a happy lot when he doubled plating two runs. This was the
kind of game that many fans love as the lead changed hands 6 times.

The victory was credited to Hideki Okajima(2-0) who went 1 inning, allowing 2
runs. J.P. Howell(0-1) absorbed the loss in relief.
