'Claws claim split

The Lakewood BlueClaws cashed in when the Lake County Captains made 2 errors in the 3rd inning downpour that left me wet and cold for the rest of my night. It did result in 4 unearned runs and the BlueClaws were on their way to a 6-5 win. Rob Roth got the win, giving up single runs in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd frames, but when his team got him 4 in the home 3rd, Roth slammed the door on the Captains, throwing up 3 zeros to pick up his first win of the season. Travis D'Arnaud was the hitting star,with a single, 2 doubles and 4 RBI, to increase his team leading total to 13. Justin De Fratus threw an impressive inning, striking out 3, and hitting 1!! Brian Rosenberg recorded his first save, throwing 2 innings, despite complications.

A rough night in Lakeland, as the Flying Tigers beat the Threshers, 7-1. The silver lining here is both Dominic Brown (2 hits, walk, SB, run scored) and Mike Durant (consecutive 2-hit games) seem to be finding their comfort levels. Also, Luis Arzeno got into his 3rd game as a Thresher, and got another hit, he is 3 for 8 (.375) since joining the team. Carlos Monasterios started and took the loss for Clearwater, going 4.2 innings, allowing 5 runs, 3 earned, on 5 hits and 2 walks. He did strike out 5, but saw his record slip to 1-1, 2.31 ERA. Joe Rocchio gave up 1 run in 1.1 frames, Dan Brauer pitched a scoreless 7th and Zack Sterner gave up a home run to Audy Ciriaco of Lakeland in his inning.
