Buccaneers Get Clutch 4-2 Win
Getting an impressive start from Eric Wheaton, Tampa Bay beat Carolina by the score of 4-2. Tampa Bay reliever Ray Skroch picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Willie Lara was saddled with the loss. The loss puts Carolina at 4-2.

The decisive blow was delivered by Latrell Singletary in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 3-run home run off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Willie Lara to win the game for Tampa Bay. The home crowd went nuts.

"I liked the focus, I liked the effort," said Buccaneers manager Justin Wilson.
