Tampa Tarpons starter JP Massey was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Lakeland Flying Tigers, 8-4. Massey went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 8. His record improves to 2-4. Jeffrey Hakanson, credited with the save, is now 6 for 8 in save opportunities.

The Tarpons benefited from a costly error in the bottom of the second. With Floyd Anderson at bat and Tampa leading 2-1, the Lakeland miscue allowed Tampa to plate 2 and take the lead, 4-1.

"JP was throwing free and easy," said Tampa manager Pat Borders.

With the win, the Tarpons improved to 40-42.
