Chicago Defeated By Captains, 6-5
The Tampa Bay Captains beat the Chicago Gangsters, 6-5, in part because of third baseman Steve Post. He went 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Dennis Cambridge earned the win, while 34-year old left-handed pitcher Jason Strobel took the loss for Chicago. The Captains win now puts them at 63-80.

Jim Spiegel's at-bat in the top of the sixth was significant, coming with the bases loaded and the game tied, 3-3. The Tampa Bay shortstop hit a 2-run single off Jason Strobel to put the Captains up.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Spiegel told the Tampa Bay Herald.
