Orange County scored a season-high 18 runs in routing the Calgary Vipers, 18-6, at Goodwin Fieldon Tuesday night. Five different Flyers had multi-RBI games with rookie Tyler Keeble leading the charge with four RBI on a fifth inning grand slam. Keeble finished the night 2-for-4 with three runs scored while Jimmy Rohan went 3-for-6 with three RBI and two runs.

Manny Ayala earned the win for Orange County, improving to 5-0 on the year. Ayala settled down after giving up a homerun to Jonny Kaplan to being the game for an early 1-0 Calgary advantage. Ayala faced the minimum 12 batters from the second through fifth innings. The Flyers starting pitcher finished the night giving up four runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking two over six innings.

Vipers starter Anastacio Martinez walked three straight batters in the second inning before Flyers catcher Jim Goethals doubled in Sergio Pedroza and David Harris. One batter later, Manny Ayala fielders choice cashed Tyler Keeble as Orange County took a 3-1 lead.
