Yankees Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Blue Jays, 5-3
The Tampa Yankees picked up a win at George M. Steinbrenner Field, knocking off the Dunedin Blue Jays, 5-3. On the mound for Tampa was right-hander Casey Allard. He played a key role in the triumph. Steve Luker snagged the win in relief. He goes to 6-4 on the season. Ricky Nazarian suffered the loss. The 4th-place Yankees have won 5 consecutive games.

Tampa took a 4-3 lead on Jeff Benhart's 10th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Benhart hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Dunedin pitcher Ricky Nazarian visibly frustrated.

"Whenever I help the team," said Benhart, "I feel like I earned my paycheck."
