Lakeland blew a three run lead when Brendan Wise and Juan Cedeno combined to give up four runs in the eighth inning.  Wise took the loss and he fell to 0-3 and it was too bad because a very nice start by Luis Marte went to waste. Marte gave up four hits with four strikeouts in seven shutout innings.

Jeramy Laster went three for four with double but he was picked off and caught stealing in the game.  Brennan Boesch drove two runs on a pair of sac. flies.

Lakeland lost to Tampa 5-4 but Scott Sizemore did about all he could to help the Flying Tigers win.  He was a perfect three for three with a walk and a solo homerun.  Brandon Timm went two for four with a double and a run.

Duane Below gave up three runs (one earned) over four innings in his start.  Brendan Wise took the loss when he gave up two runs in the bottom of the ninth.

Michael Hernandez and Maxwell Leon provided the bulk of the offense in Lakeland’s 12-10 win over Daytona.  Hernandez went three for five with a double, a homerun, four RBIs and three runs.  Leon went two for three with a double and four RBIs.

Burke Badenhop was hit hard in his start but the hitters picked him up.  Brendan Wise threw a shutout frame in the eighth inning and he improved to 1-1 on the season.

The Flying Tigers lost to Sarasota 2-1 and it was pretty much due to a lack of offense.  Mark Haske belted a solo homerun in the sixth inning and that was pretty much it.  The other three hits were singles by different hitters.

A pretty good start by Eleazar Aponte went to waste.  He gave up just one run on six hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in six innings.  Brendan Wise gave up a ninth inning run and he took the loss.

The Seawolves got plenty of offense in their 13-5 win over the Fisher Cats but Andres Torres had a hand in four of them. He went two for four with a double, a triple, three runs and an RBI.  Clete Thomas also had a nice game and he went three for four with three runs.

Brendan Wise picked up the win although it was more because he was in the right place at the right time.  He gave up a run on four hits in 2/3 of an inning.
