Rockets Win, 9-3, at Tampa
The Huntsville Rockets defeated the Tampa Capitals by the score of 9-3, with the biggest share of the credit going to left fielder Joe Bronson. Bronson went 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Rockets on the day. Dan Johnson earned the save, his 1st, for the Rockets. Tampa now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

The Rockets got a big hit from designated hitter Javier Gamboa. Facing Tampa pitcher Aaron Kent in the top of the fifth, Gamboa pounded a 3-run home run to right. His 13th home run of the season put the Rockets ahead, 6-3.

"When you put in the effort and you get really focused, the results come in ways you're not even expecting," said Rockets manager Alec Roller.
