David Watson knocked in 6 runs to help Tallahassee beat Joplin, 9-5. The Jackson, Michigan native tallied 1 single and 2 home runs. Jorge Gamboa, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-0. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. The Captains, at 39-46, sit in 4th place in the RCL AAA Bobby Cox Division.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Watson delivered big-time for Tallahassee, stroking a dramatic grand slam home run off Nelson Soto. The game-changing hit put the Captains on top, 9-5.

"If it's down the middle," said Watson, "you might as well hit it."
