Vipers Lose, 6-5, to Minnesota
The Snake Pit was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Minnesota Mallards and Arizona Vipers.

The Minnesota Mallards scored a tight 6-5 win versus the Arizona Vipers at The Snake Pit. Minnesota pitcher Nick Vernon held his own in the contest. Ben Kaiser closed it out for his 23rd save.

Minnesota used a clutch hit from Tom Alvarado to get the win. The designated hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Mallards ahead, 6-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

"I think we all put in a good day's work," said Alvarado.

Minnesota is in 4th place in the Frontier League East with a record of 59-69.
