Nootbaar Lifts Bandits to 9-7 Win
Due in large part to right fielder Lars Nootbaar, the Tampa Bay Bandits sunk the Georgia Bulldogs, 9-7. Nootbaar went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4. The win went to Hunter Harvey in relief. His record improves to 8-4. Nick Sandlin took the loss. A.J. Minter, credited with the save, is now 3 for 6 in save opportunities.

El Segundo, California native Lars Nootbaar had a clutch at-bat in the bottom of the sixth for the Bandits. With Tampa Bay trailing 6-5, he hit a 2-run single.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Tampa Bay skipper George Hoffman.

The triumph puts Tampa Bay at 88-46 for the season.
