Conditions were not ideal but Lakeland and Fort Myers were able to put their game in the books.

Connor McLaughlin left his imprint on the 7-3 Lakeland win against the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels. McLaughlin, who is tied for 9th in the FLO in extra base hits with 15, went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Ricky Vanasco, the winning pitcher, improved to 5-3. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 4.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Sonny Williams? The Lakeland left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Flying Tigers on top, 3-0. For the game, Williams had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Williams expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."

Lakeland is third in the North with a record of 24-18.
