Tampa Gets Another L
Charlotte pitcher Jason Pierce did his part in helping his team defeat the Tampa Yankees, 4-0. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Pierce, now 3-0, was the winner. In 8.1 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 8, walking 5, and allowing no runs. The slumping Yankees have dropped 9 in a row.

David Buckner, who is tied for 10th in the FSL with a .303 batting average, had a direct impact on the outcome. Buckner contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put Charlotte up, 4-0.

Tampa manager Mitch Renfer, after yet another defeat, remained upbeat. He said: "We're going to get out of this thing, we're going to come busting through."
