Thrilling Victory Pushes Pirates Win Streak to 5
Despite a fine performance by first baseman Micah Holbert, the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays lost to the Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates, 9-5. Holbert was 2-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Pittsburgh (GCL) reliever Ismael Trejo picked up the win, upping his record to 4-0. Danny Fluegge shouldered the loss. Pittsburgh (GCL), at 44-31, occupies second place in the Northwest Division.

Pittsburgh (GCL) used the timely hitting of Joe Marshall to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Pirates on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Winning never gets dull," said Marshall.
