Capitals Knock Off Desperados, 7-4
The game between Tampa and Santa Rosa is in the books, despite a little rain.

The Tampa Capitals topped the Santa Rosa Desperados, 7-4, at Capitals Ballpark. Tampa first baseman Chris Malay was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Nate Billesbach picked up the win with 8.1 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 6-8.

Making an impact for the home team was Andre Howard. In the bottom of the fifth, the 23-year old right fielder had a run-scoring walk. That made the score 3-1, Capitals.

"There's so many different ways you can win a game," said winning manager Matt Kaczmarczyk.

The win makes Tampa 53-74.
