Hotspur Reserves Lose Again, 9-4
Vermont beat Phoenix at Monster Field, eking out a 9-4 win. The win was due in large part to pitcher Jim Unknown, who earned player of the game honors. Unknown picked up the win for Vermont, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. With the win, Vermont boosts its record to 3-4.

Henry Womack, who is rated as the 50th best prospect by BNN, aided the Vermont cause with a 2-run single in the bottom of the second. For the game, the third baseman was 2-4 with 2 singles and a walk. He drove in 3 runs.

Unknown told the Vermont Chronicle: "I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more.' You win just by scoring more runs."
