Flying Tigers Losing Streak at 5 After Extra-Inning Loss to Fire Frogs
Lakeland wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Brandon Blackledge, falling to the Florida Fire Frogs, 3-2. Blackledge threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. The Flying Tigers fall to 6-10 and continue their uneven start to the 2024 season.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Chad Smith came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Lakeland pitcher Ryan Sublette, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Florida on top, 3-2.

In postgame comments to the Florida News, Smith said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
