Crocodiles Topple Hitters with Late Rally
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Tampa Crocodiles and Hamilton Hitters.

In a tight affair between the Tampa Crocodiles and the Hamilton Hitters, pitcher Mario Niebles was in the zone. The Tampa left-hander helped his team win the game, 3-1. With the win, the Crocodiles have a record of 30-29.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Neil Hottman came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Hamilton pitcher Juan Villanueva, he hit a 2-1 curveball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Tampa on top, 3-1.

Hottman called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
