Guzman Excels in 8-3 Tampa Bay Win
With third baseman Manny Guzman leading the charge, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 8-3, at Candlestick Park. Guzman went 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Malachi Watson was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, with 6 walks and 5 strikeouts. The 49ers fall to 13-16 and continue their rocky start to the 2002 season.

With Tampa Bay leading 4-0 in the top of the third, Guzman came up to bat against San Francisco pitcher Ben Hornberger. Guzman hit a fastball to center for a 2-run double. His 4th double of the season put the Buccaneers on top, 6-0.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Guzman told the Tampa Bay Gazette. "Whatever it takes."
