Late Magic Gets Lakeland 4-2 Win
The Lakeland Flying Tigers took St. Lucie pitcher Griffin McGarry's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Osceola County Stadium. The final score had Lakeland getting past the Mets, 4-2. McGarry went 7 innings and allowed no runs, striking out 9. Ron Johnson earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2.1 innings. His record is now 2-1. Juan Valdéz earned the save for Lakeland, his 13th of the year.

Lakeland used the clutch hitting of Jesús Vargas to capture the win. The designated hitter drilled a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to give the Flying Tigers the lead, 3-2. For the game, Vargas had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"It feels good to get this one," Vargas told the Lakeland Gazette.

St. Lucie has now lost 4 in a row.
