It was a fun time at Orlando Citrus Bowl, where the Cleveland Spiders and Orlando Devil Rays tangled.

The Orlando Devil Rays downed the Cleveland Spiders, 12-8, at Orlando Citrus Bowl. Ron Gant led the way, going 3-for-4 for Orlando. The Devil Rays, now 2-1, have been playing some good baseball.

The Devil Rays got a big at-bat from designated hitter Paul O'Neill. For the game, O'Neill was 3-5 with 3 singles. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 6th hit of the season gave Orlando a 7-6 lead.

"Enjoyed this one," O'Neill told the Orlando Today. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
