It took 11 innings, but the Tampa Bay (VSL) Rays were able to beat the Chicago (VSL) Cubs, 10-8, at VSL Cubs Complex. Ben Ackerman provided some offensive muscle for Tampa Bay (VSL). He went 5-6 with 3 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. The second-place Rays have won 6 consecutive games.

Tampa Bay (VSL) got a knockout punch from Ed Willis. The shortstop hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Slowly but surely, the wins are piling up," said Willis.
