Spiders Turn Back Orlando, 7-6
The Cleveland Spiders dealt the Orlando Devil Rays a 7-6 loss at Orlando Citrus Bowl. Rudy Pemberton was the star on offense. He went 3-5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs. Steve Karsay converted his 37th save in 50 tries. Cleveland is now 80-82, Orlando 83-79.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher George E Williams came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Orlando pitcher Alan Embree, he hit a 2-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cleveland on top, 7-6.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Williams.
