The Huntsville Rockets turned back the Tampa Capitals, 8-7, at Ballpark of Austin. Javier Gamboa, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 1 for 1 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Alejandro Aguilar was the winner in relief. His record is now 4-1. The losing pitcher was Jim Unknown. The 'W' lifts Huntsville's record to 61-40.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. With Huntsville trailing 7-5, Gamboa jumped on a fastball from 24-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown and hit a 3-run home run to right-center. With one swing, the Rockets had a walk-off win.

"I still think this team can play even better," Gamboa told the Huntsville Bulletin.
