Jimmy Hall erased an early Bengal lead with a two run shot then followed that up with an encore two run blast giving George Brunet all the support he needed in the first game of the twin bill. The Tigers clawed back chasing George Brunet in the 7th but the dynamic bullpen duo of Kelso and Rojas slammed the door preserving the victory .
