...I thought I would share this victorious day in (recent) Tyler Minor League
history with you guys:


JULY 28, 1994
At historic Mike Carter Field, the Tyler WildCatters rally from three different
deficits to take a dramatic 8-7 victory over the San Antonio Tejanos. With the
score tied, 7-7, in the bottom of the 9th, 'Catters catcher Derek Dana completes
a 5-for-5 evening by singling into the right centerfield gap off Tejanos losing
pitcher Troy Mooney, driving in outfielder Pat Woodruff with the winning run.
Following the game, Tyler trades utility infielder Matt Torres to San Antonio
for the pitcher they just defeated -- Troy Mooney.

JULY 28, 1995
Behind 7 2/3 strong innings from lefthanded starting pitcher Kerry Knox, the
Tyler WildCatters defeat the Rio Grande Valley White Wings, 4-2, before 1,375
fans at historic Mike Carter Field.

JULY 28, 1996
The Tyler WildCatters fall behind three times to the Alexandria Aces before
rallying for three runs in the top of the 9th, en route to a 7-4 victory before
1,028 fans at Bringhurst Field. 'Catters leadoff hitter Sean Collins scores the
go-ahead run in the 9th -- reaching base on a walk & eventually scoring on Ken
Shamburg's infield single. Tyler closer Ron Kitchen picks up the win -- his
first victory of the 1996 Texas-Louisiana League campaign.

JULY 28, 2001
The Tyler Roughnecks complete a three-game series sweep of the Montgomery Wings,
winning, 7-1, before 2,897 fans at historic Paterson Field. Tyler starter Tommy
John III pitches eight strong innings for his 5th victory of the season. The
game is delayed for approximately 40 minutes in the top of the 9th as police and
fire personnel attempt to rescue a juvenile who climbed to the top of the
scoreboard in left field.
