Captains Take Tight Tango, 3-1
The San Diego Captains faced a tough opponent in Washington pitcher Dave Alexander, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Monument Field by a final score of 3-1. Alexander went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Brian Meade converted his 10th save in 14 tries. San Diego is now 60-66, while Washington is 55-71.

San Diego used a timely hit from Jerry Olsen to get the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Captains ahead, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Brandon Tucker.
