Tampa Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The Tampa Capitals turned back the Kansas City Dust Devils, 7-6, at Capitals Ballpark. Jordan Rubio, in particular, had a fine performance. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 5. Tampa occupies 5th place in the Northern A East Division at 25-28.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Tampa trailing 6-5, Rubio hit a cutter from Jim Unknown for a 2-run single. In the blink of an eye, the Capitals had a walk-off win.

"This ballpark was lit," Rubio said.
