Rockets Score Late, Clip Capitals, 2-1
Huntsville got a strong outing from Michael Harkins as the Rockets defeated the Tampa Capitals, 2-1, at Ballpark of Austin. Huntsville reliever Yekuno-Amlak Lusalah picked up the win, raising his record to 3-1. Nate Billesbach was tagged with the loss. The save was credited to Luke Walley, his 8th.

Had Eddie Sandoval not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Sandoval hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Rockets.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Sandoval.

Huntsville now has a record of 56-31 with the win.
