Late Rally by Dragons Locks Up 3-1 Win
In a low-scoring tilt between the St. George Dragons and the Wests Tigers, Chris Kirton was the difference-maker. The St. George right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Kirton, now 9-4, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 8, walking 0, and allowing 1 run. The Dragons now own a record of 45-52.

A crucial at-bat came with the bases empty and no one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. That's when center fielder Ray Emelio, who is tied for 5th in the WL in hits with 111, hit a triple. The Dragons went on to win.

"Chris just went about his business, throwing strikes," said St. George manager Robert Culmer.
