Lakeland Blow Four Run Lead in Loss to Dunedin

by Mike Cassidy @ 11:31 pm. Filed under Andrew Miller, Cameron Maybin, Gabriel Benitez, Lakeland Flying Tigers - April 2007, Michael Hernandez, Ricky Steik

A very nice start by Andrew Miller went to waste as the bullpen gave up five late runs in Lakeland’s 5-4 loss to Dunedin. Miller gave up five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings. Gabriel Bentitez gave up three runs in an inning and Ricky Steik gave up the tying and go ahead run in the eighth as he took the loss.

Michael Hernandez belted his fourth homerun of the season and he drove in two runs. Cameron Maybin singled twice and scored a run in the 5-4 loss.

My brother and I followed the Flying Tigers during the last week of April. It looks, unfortunately, like a long summer for Commander Kevin Bradshaw as his roster is overpopulated with players who have been forced to the “High A” level before they are ready. This is largely due to the number of injuries from the Major League level down, mostly, but not limited to, the pitching corps.

This game was a microcosm of the season. Great starting pitching, but the bullpen failed. Other nights the starter got into trouble early and the ‘pen did well, but it was too late for the offense to catch up. The one constant was the team is not very proficient with their gloves, as virtually every member of the infield committed one or more errors during the week.

Here’s hoping that many guys get healthy so that the team does not totally lose it’s morale.
