Jeremy Lewis gave up a run in the tenth inning as Lakeland lost yet again to Sarasota 4-3.  Freddy Dolsi gave up the tying run in the top of the ninth and it was unfortunate because a nice start by Angel Castro went to waste.  He gave up two runs on seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in seven innings.

Justin Justice went two for three with a triple, a walk and a run.  Rafael Mendez finished the game three for four.

Lucas French fell to 5-8 on the season with a tough start in the Flying Tigers 4-1 loss to Fort Myers.  He gave up four runs on six hits and three walks with one strikeout in five innings of work.

Rafael Mendez was the only batter with two hits.  He went two for four with a double.

Christopher Cody wasn’t awesome, but he certainly held his own in his first Florida State League start.  He gave up two runs on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts in four innings before giving it up to the pen.  Derek Witt then had a tough time and he gave up seven runs (three earned) in three innings and he took the loss.

Wilkin Ramirez went two for three with a double and a run in the 9-2 loss.  Rafael Mendez went two for four with two RBIs.

Lakeland used an Earl Weaver favorite and with two three run homers, they cruised to a 10-2 win over Brevard County.  Cameron Maybin went two for four with a three run shot and two runs scored while Rafael Mendez singled, hit a three run homerun and scored two runs.

Burke Badenhop improved to 7-5 on the season with a decent start.  He gave up two runs on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts in six innings of work.
