Owens, Rays March to 9-3 Victory
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

In the 9-3 Tampa Bay (GCL) win over Minnesota (GCL), the impact of Willie Owens was substantial. Owens, who is tied for 10th in the GCL in RBI with 24, was 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Rays bumped their record to 15-13 with this win.

Tampa Bay (GCL) used the clutch hitting of Chris Jones to capture the win. The center fielder drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Rays the lead, 4-3. For the game, Jones had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Jones.
