Tampa Bay (GCL) used a timely hit from Brad Bell to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rays ahead, 4-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"Bottom line," said Minnesota (GCL) skipper Darren O'Day, "we didn't play well enough to win."
