Otters Jolt Moonshiners with Late Rally
Joe Vitiello left his imprint on the 7-5 Milwaukee win against the Asheville Moonshiners. Vitiello, who is tied for 4th in the ATL in doubles with 9, was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Mark Clear picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-1. Salomon Torres was tagged with the loss. Todd Ritchie got the save, the 1st for him this season.

Joe Vitiello provided some late-game drama. In the top of the eighth, with one out and a runner on 3rd, Vitiello hit a 2-run home run. It helped Milwaukee take the lead and grab the win.

"Feels good to get the job done," Vitiello said after the game.

Milwaukee is now 14-12, Asheville 14-12.
