Florida State League ( Low A ) Clearwater 13 (17-6) Lakeland 7 (11-12)
Clearwater, FL - BayCare Ballpark
Summary :
Went to the game tonight to watch in person - very impressive group on the Threshers, starting pitcher Wen Hui Pan was very good, velocity was down a bit as compared to prior outings but movement was still there, he threw more sliders and got plenty of swings and misses, also mixed in his splitter. At the plate the hitters got great swings, even most of the outs were hit hard. As an example, Jordan Viars smoked two “at em” balls, in the box those don’t show up as successful but his swing and contact were very much so.
The Threshers scored five runs in the second inning, Jordan Dissin and Jordan Viars walked, Otto Kemp was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Bryan Rincon walked to score a run. Emaarion Boyd reached on a fielders choice to score a run. Justin Crawford singled in the hole between short and third to score two runs. Caleb Ricketts doubled down the right field line to score Crawford.
Erick Brito tripled in the third inning, he scored when Emaarion Boyd reached on an error, Justin Crawford laced a ball high off the right field fence for a double to score Boyd.
Jordan Dissin hit his first professional home run in the fourth inning, a shot to left field. Erick Brito walked in the sixth, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a subsequent throwing error on a ground out.
The Lakeland Flying Tigers loaded the bases in the 6th inning on two singles and a walk, Sergio Tapia singled to score two runs.
Jordan Dissin doubled in the bottom of the sixth, Otto Kemp walked and Jordan Viars was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Bryan Rincon singled to score two runs. Erick Brito reached on a fielder’s choice which scored another run. Brito scored Emaarion Boyd reached on an error.
