GROEGER BRILLIANT IN SNAKES VICTORY

For the second straight night the Calgary Vipers got a terrific pitching performance in beating the Edmonton Cracker-Cats 8-2 at Telus Field in Edmonton. Jeff Groeger picked up the victory in tossing eight innings and allowing only two hits for the two runs. Groeger left the game after the eighth inning when for the second time in the night he retired nine Cracker-Cats in a row. The right hander also did not allow a hit until the sixth inning while striking out six batters. With the victory the Vipers take a 2-0 series lead in the Golden Baseball League's North Division Finals.

In the top of the sixth inning the Vipers scored the game's first runs when Colin Moro singled and Jorge Mejia hit a two run homerun over the right field wall. Calgary added to the lead with two outs when both Felix Jose and Drew Miller walked and Kit Pellow stroked a run batted in double to left field which Marcus Nettles booted for an error to also allow Miller to score for the 4-0 advantage.
