The Newark Flyers got a stellar performance from pitcher Rafael Cruz, who handcuffed the Tampa offense en route to a win, 8-2, at Capitals Ballpark. The win for the Flyers lifted their record to 63-62.

In the top of the fourth, Tim Schnupp delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 1st and 3rd, the Newark right fielder hit a run-scoring single, putting the Flyers in front, 8-2.

"What a lackluster performance," lamented losing manager Matt Kaczmarczyk.
