Vikings Score Late, Top Crocodiles, 7-6
Despite a great performance by Tampa second baseman Neil Hottman, the Norfolk Vikings defeated the Crocodiles by the score of 7-6 at Freedom Lake. Hottman went 3-5 with a triple and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Jake Achbar earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.2 innings. He upped his record to 3-0. Kyle Taylor converted his 18th save in 18 tries.

Josh Herrera hit a run-scoring triple off Vince Johnson in the top of the ninth, which put the Vikings in front, 7-6. In addition to the triple, Herrera had 1 single and 1 walk, while going 2 for 4.

"Winning is all that really matters and we got it done today," Herrera told the Norfolk Observer.

With the win, Norfolk upped its record to 35-35.
