Thunder Capture Close Win
Atlanta got a terrific performance from pitcher Bryan Mas, but it wasn't enough to beat the Tampa Bay Thunder. Tampa Bay won the The Hangar contest, 3-2. Mas threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. By defeating Atlanta, the 8th-place Thunder improved to 41-41.

Tampa Bay used the timely hitting of Bob Ortega to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Thunder on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

After the game, Tampa Bay manager Ray McKay applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
