Tampa Bay Rays radio announcer Dave Wills has died at age 58.

The club mourned Wills' death with no radio broadcast of Sunday's spring game against the Baltimore Orioles. He had been the team's radio announcer for the last 18 years.

"Dave was an outstanding broadcaster, a great friend and an even better person," Rays owner Stuart Sternberg said.

"He had a remarkable talent for bringing the game to life for our fans and was a vital part of the Rays family. We will miss him dearly and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time."
