Chicago Gangsters (2-11) 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 9 0

Tampa Bay Crafts 4-2 Win
The Captains grabbed a win, 4-2, at Ahoy Park, overcoming a fine effort from Chicago pitcher Sam Palacios. Palacios went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Justin Berardi closed it out for Tampa Bay, earning his 4th save. To call the performance of the 2-11 Gangsters woeful so far is an understatement.

Tampa Bay went up, 4-2, on Jonathan McCarthy's 2nd double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which McCarthy hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Chicago pitcher Keith Kramer muttering to himself.

McCarthy told a Tampa Bay Chronicle reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
