Captains Nipped by Desperados, 3-2
Ahoy Park was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Austin Desperados and Tampa Bay Captains.

Edwin Montez pitched well enough to win, but it was not to be. The Tampa Bay Captains, despite Montez's fine outing, dropped a 3-2 decision to the Austin Desperados at Ahoy Park. Vic Lucero snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 3 innings. He's now 1-1 on the season. The save went to Joe McLaughlin, his 26th this season.

Matt Fishburn helped out the Austin cause in the top of the seventh inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the left fielder went 1-2.

"We busted our tails," said Tampa Bay manager Jalen Armour. "But we came up short."

Tampa Bay is in the throes of a long losing streak, which is now 11 games.
