Tampa Bay Rallies for 3-1 Victory
The Tampa Bay Captains had to overcome a fine effort from Fountain Hills pitcher Albert Fabian to win, 3-1, at Fountain Park. Fabian went 8 innings and allowed 2 runs. Mike Grotjohn snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 1.2 innings. He's now 2-4 on the season. The triumph makes Tampa Bay 34-64.

Tampa Bay needed the clutch hitting of Danny Lebron to notch the win. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Captains on top, 3-1. For the game, Lebron had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"It's a good day to be a fan after a win like that," Lebron told the Tampa Bay Chronicle.
