Ruiz Helps Tampa Bay (GCL) Outscore New York N (GCL)
The Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays stopped the New York N (GCL) Mets, 11-10, at Ensigns Ballpark. The Rays got a big game from Alex Ruiz, who went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Tampa Bay (GCL) reliever Gus Cantu picked up the win, raising his record to 2-0. John Pretlow was tagged with the loss. The Rays lead the South Division by 3 games.

Chris Gardner was 2 for 3 with a double and 3 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for Tampa Bay (GCL). The 22-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the top of the seventh. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 10-10 tie with a run-scoring walk off Zach Bird. It was his 26th walk of the season.

New York N (GCL) manager Dave Croft said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."
