Edouard Julien hit a homerun and had 2 RBI as the Oyster Bay Tomcats won at
Forbes Field in dramatic fashion over the Atlantic City Surf, the final
score, 5 to 3.
 
Oyster Bay scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning with 2 runs utilizing
2 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Corbin Carroll opened up the rally
as he lined a single.  Carroll was safe on a stolen base.  Julien then lifted
one out of the park for a two run home run giving Oyster Bay the victory as
25,453 happy fans celebrated wildly.  Atlantic City out-hit Oyster Bay 10 to
7, but Oyster Bay ended up with more runs.  
 
The win was credited to Alex Faedo(2-0) who went 1/3 of an inning allowing no
runs. Felix Bautista(1-1) ended up with the loss in relief.  Despite taking
the loss, he whiffed 4 batters in 1 and 1/3 innings.  
 
Steve Tomkowicz was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of
games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back.  Now maybe we can
relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.'
