Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Fire Frogs
Lakeland got a terrific game from first baseman Ismael Villarreal. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Florida, 12-8. Villarreal slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. The Flying Tigers fall to 6-8 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2024 season.

Florida used the timely hitting of Damian McCain to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Fire Frogs on top, 9-8. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Winning never gets dull," said McCain.
