Sutton Goes Wild, But Capitals Win
The inspired effort of St. Catharines designated hitter Danny Sutton was not enough to prevent a loss, 9-5, to the Tampa Capitals. Sutton hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The winning pitcher was Nate Billesbach. He tossed 110 pitches over 7.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. The Capitals, at 56-76, inhabit 5th place in the Northern A East Division.

Eric Schultz had a big 3-run home run for the Capitals in the top of the first inning. With Tampa leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from Tony Vigil and swatted a home run to left. It was his 8th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Capitals ahead, 5-0.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Matt Kaczmarczyk said.
