Extra-Inning Win by Spiders over Devil Rays
The Cleveland Spiders handed the Orlando Devil Rays a loss at Orlando Citrus Bowl. The final score was 7-4. Kevin Mitchell was named player of the game for Cleveland. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 3. He also added 1 walk. With the victory, the Spiders record now stands at 79-82.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Raul Ibanez came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Orlando pitcher Rich Garces, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a 3-run home run. It was a game-changer, putting Cleveland on top, 7-4.

"Games like this one keep the antacid makers in business," quipped Orlando manager Ben Tennyson.
