MINNEAPOLIS -- For much of this season, Rays RBI Tampa relied on Dontavious Johnson on the mound, but hadn't necessarily needed his bat. On Friday, with his team in need of an offensive spark, Johnson came through in a big way at the plate and propelled a late rally as he and the Rays made program history.
Johnson's run-scoring triple in the bottom of the sixth set off a five-run outburst that helped Tampa top Philadelphia, 5-3, in dramatic fashion to win the Junior division title of the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) World Series at Siebert Field on the University of Minnesota campus.
