Capitals Get Past Huntsville for 3-2 Win
The Tampa Capitals eked out a 3-2 win versus the Huntsville Rockets at Capitals Ballpark. Nobody did more than pitcher Danny Villa. He was terrific. At 24-31, the Capitals find themselves in 5th place in the Northern A East Division.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Tampa pinch hitter Tyler Dickson, facing Jason McCoart, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Capitals the 3-2 win.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Villa told the Tampa Times.
