The Vermont Lake Monsters easily defeated the Aberdeen Ironbirds, 17-3, at Ripken Stadium, with third baseman Chet Smith a main contributor to the win. He was 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 for Vermont. Clarence Huff, the winner, goes to 3-2. He allowed 3 runs on 10 hits, with 4 walks and 11 strikeouts over 8 innings. The Lake Monsters go to 23-34 with the win.

Elroy Cleveland had a big 2-run double for the Lake Monsters in the top of the third inning. With Vermont leading 4-3 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Chris Cantú and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 6th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Lake Monsters ahead, 6-3.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Smith told the Vermont Bulletin.
