ValleyCats' bats wake up early to outslug Lake Erie
The ValleyCats (4-2) took the rubber game of the three-game series, bouncing back from a 5-3 loss to the Crushers in a game that ended about 12 hours earlier on Wednesday night.
Denis Phipps homered twice and drove in four runs for the ValleyCats, who have as many wins in the first six games as they did in the first 20 a year ago.
