Burlington, VT - Aberdeen came to Vermont after sweeping Connecticut and found success through a balk, some errors and a couple of key hits. Vermont's mistakes piled up and Robert Neustrom homer was the difference in a 6-4 IronBird victory.

HALL HUSTLES: Adam Hall reached with a walk in the third inning. He proceeded to steal second and third, and came home on a balk by Vermont's starter Jose Mora.

FIRST OF MANY: Lead change number two came in the bottom half, Marcos Brito led off with a single. Jonah Bride knocked an RBI double and Jeremy Eierman did the same for Vermont. It was 2-1 Lake Monsters through three.

MORE MISCUES: In the fouth inning J.C. Escarra was hit by a pitch and Cody Roberts knocked a single. When Robert Neustrom reached on an error, Escarra came to the plate. Adam Hall stepped up and hit a double with the bases loaded to score two runs. Aberdeen led 4-2.

HAMMONDS FANS NINE: A career high nine batters struck out to NYPL All-Star Matt Hammonds in his 5.2 IP. He left with the bases loaded in the 6th and ended up surrendering three runs in that inning. Vermont retook the lead 5-4.

WILD HORVATH: Nick Horvath reached on an error in the sixth inning and came in to score after back to back wild pitches. That tied the game at five.

NUESTROM.... ENOUGH SAID: Robert Neustrom hammered a ball off of lefty Josh Reagan in the 7th inning. He sent it over the wall in right center with an exit velocity of 108.5 MPH to give the 'Birds a 6-5 lead.

FIRST TIMES THE CHARM: J.J. Montgomery got his first save opportunity as a pro and cruised through it. He retired the side in order in the 9th to give the 'Birds a 6-5 win and make it six (officially) in a row.

UP NEXT: Aberdeen looks to continue their success with a 7:05 P.M. first pitch tomorrow from Centennial Field.
