Donovan Delivers Walk-Off Win for Bandits
Tampa Bay beat Carolina on the strength of starting pitcher Pablo Lopez's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-3. Tampa Bay reliever Kirby Yates picked up the win, upping his record to 1-1. Peter Fairbanks took the loss. Tampa Bay goes to 21-11.

The decisive blow was delivered by Brendan Donovan in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Peter Fairbanks to win the game for Tampa Bay. The home crowd went nuts.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Carolina manager Rob Hansen. "But we decided not to take it."
