First-place Tigers

Connecticut’s bats came to life in a 7-6 win over Aberdeen on Friday night, a victory that put the Tigers into first place in the New York-Penn League’s Stedler Division.

A win today combined with a loss by Tri-City at Brooklyn will clinch the playoff berth for the Connecticut. The Tigers have a half-game lead.

Connecticut put single runs on the board in the first and second innings before using a two-run Ryan Enos home run in the fourth for a 4-0 lead.

The IronBirds tied the game in the bottom of the fourth, but fell behind for good in the sixth.

Matt Perry (3-for-3) singled and advanced to second on Dixon Machado’s sacrifice bunt. Chao-Ting Tang then drove in Perry with a single to right.

The Tigers added a run in the sixth and two more in the eighth before holding off Aberdeen in the ninth.
