ValleyCats go from zero to 13 in victory over Lake Erie
On Wednesday, Aaron Altherr, Pavin Parks, Zach Biermann, Trey Hair and rookie Robbie Merced all went deep for the ValleyCats (15-14).
The ValleyCats are averaging 6.7 runs per game this season, more than their 6.6 average a year ago, despite losing league MVP Brantley Bell to affiliated baseball and trading aging home-run champion Denis Phipps and slugger Brad Zunica. They were the franchise's top three players in homers and RBI a year ago.
