The Tampa Bay Thunder got a stellar effort from pitcher Ben Markowitz, helping Tampa Bay score a win over the visiting New York City Gothams, 7-2. Marcello Cowell, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save. Tampa Bay has won 4 consecutive games.

Travis McCombs, who finished 5th in the EC in extra base hits with 45 in 2016, came through for Tampa Bay with a solo home run in the bottom of the third. The right fielder went 2 for 5 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 4 RBI.

Said losing manager Jacob Sanders: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
