First baseman Albert Pujols had 4 hits and 4 RBI as the Vermont Fighting Sioux
defeated the New Jersey Trash Heap in 11 innings by the score of 7 to 5 at
Fighting Sioux Field.

Both teams were tied at 5 runs apiece after nine innings. Vermont won the
hard fought contest in the 11th inning. Coco Crisp led off and started the
rally when he drew a walk. Lyle Overbay got his turn next, but he was a
strikeout victim. Pujols then bombed a two-run dinger (his 11th of the
season) resulting in an exciting win for Vermont and a raucous post-game
celebration by the home town fans. Vermont had 10 hits for the afternoon.

The win went to Hideki Okajima(4-0) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Brad
Lidge(0-3) was the loser in relief. He pitched 2 innings giving up 3 hits
and 1 walk.
