Invaders Deal Tampa Bay 7-5 Defeat
Oakland catcher Mike Sligar was instrumental in helping the Invaders triumph, 7-5, over the Tampa Bay Captains. Sligar went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 2. Picking up the save was 27-year old right-handed pitcher Evan Pullman. The Oakland win streak is now 3 games.

Oakland used the timely hitting of Ruben Alamo to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Invaders on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

In postgame comments to the Oakland Herald, Alamo said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
