Unger Helps Kansas City Outscore Tampa
The Kansas City Dust Devils topped the Tampa Capitals by a score of 11-10. Leading the way was catcher Matt Unger. Unger was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Dust Devils. Kansas City reliever Joe Stewart was the winner. His record is now 3-1. Bobby Montijo took the loss. Jim Unknown closed it out for Kansas City, earning his 1st save.

Kansas City used a timely hit from John Riggle to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Dust Devils ahead, 9-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"Both teams had plenty of clutch hits," said Riggle. "It made for an exciting game."

By defeating Tampa, the third-place Dust Devils improved to 21-30.
