Legends Lick Fireflies, 5-0
Steve Tucker never let the Fireflies get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Legends to a win, 5-0. The winning pitcher was Tucker, now 3-2. He tossed 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 5. Theron Koulpasis earned the save, his 10th.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jesus Pantoja? The Lexington second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Legends on top, 3-0. For the game, Pantoja had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I just kind of blacked out and executed my pitches," said Tucker.

The win makes Lexington 23-13.
