Lakeland Gets 6-2 Win
The St. Lucie Mets got a superb performance from center fielder Jason Thompson, but the Lakeland Flying Tigers still won the game, 6-2. Thompson was 3-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was Chris Clarke. He tossed 93 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 11 hits. Earning his 14th save of the year was Juan Valdéz.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Manny Medellín? The Lakeland shortstop had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Flying Tigers on top, 4-2. For the game, Medellín had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I like our moxie," said Flying Tigers manager Luis Sojo.

The triumph puts Lakeland at 31-25 for the season.
