Tampa laid the wood on Cottage City at Capitals Ballpark.

The Tampa Capitals pounded the Cottage City Cannonballers, 16-1, at Capitals Ballpark. Tampa left fielder Chance Jones had a game-changing performance. He went 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 and driving in 5. Andy Espindola, the winning pitcher, improved to 2-2. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 4 hits and 1 run, while striking out 6 and walking 2.

With Tampa leading 2-1 in the bottom of the third, Jones hit a run-scoring triple off Cottage City hurler Israel Beristain. It was the 2nd triple of the season for Jones and put his team ahead, 3-1.

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

Tampa goes to 11-10.
