San Diego Captains starter John Espersen turned in a sparkling performance against the Kansas City Bulls, leading his team to a 1-0 win. The first-place Captains have won 4 in a row.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when San Diego first baseman Troy Stallings, facing Tom Mitchell, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Captains the 1-0 win.

"It's what good teams do, find a way to win," said Stallings.
