Flying Tigers Lose, 4-1
The St. Lucie Mets beat the Lakeland Flying Tigers, 4-1, at JetBlue Park at Fenway South. Starting pitcher Michael McAvene was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Freddy Johnson, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 3 innings. Phil Edmundson finished to wrap up his 7th save.

It could have been a different outcome for St. Lucie, had it not been for Martín Montoya, the 25-year old right fielder . Montoya contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to put St. Lucie up, 1-0.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Montoya.

St. Lucie, now 28-19, holds down second place in the South.
