The pen couldn’t get the job done as a solid start by Duane Below went to waste in a 6-3 loss to St. Lucie.  Below gave up two runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings but Derek Witt and Ed Clelland combined to give up four runs in the seventh and eighth and that cost the Flying TIgers the win.

Santo De Leon had a nice day at the plate. He went three for four with a double, a homerun and two runs. 

Lakeland won their second game of the season behind some solid hitting by second baseman Scott Sizemore.  The final was 4-3 and Sizemore went three for three with a walk, a run and an RBI.  Justin Justice went two for three and he belted a two run homer.

Jonah Nickerson gave up two runs in 4 2/3 innings in his start.  Ed Clelland gave up one run in 2 2/3 innings but he picked up the win.
