The Orlando Devil Rays handed the Charlotte Knights a loss at Orlando Citrus Bowl. The final score was 7-6. Ron Gant was named player of the game for Orlando. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 1 run and drove in 2. He also added 2 walks. The Devil Rays, at 26-22, have now won 8 straight.

The Devil Rays beat the Knights with some clutch hitting. The double by Bobby Bonilla in the bottom of the fifth is a good example. With two down, Bonilla gave his team the lead, 5-3, when he came through with the big hit.

"I like the roll we're on right now," said Gant after the game.
