Fort Myers Beats Lakeland, 3-2
Starting pitcher Jerry Bell was a major factor in the 3-2 Fort Myers Miracle triumph over the Lakeland Flying Tigers. At 26-18, Fort Myers is in first place in the FSL South.

The Miracle got a big at-bat from center fielder Grant Fitzgerald. For the game, Fitzgerald went 2 for 3 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while scoring 2. In the top of the fourth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Fort Myers a 3-2 lead.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Lakeland manager Cesar Santos. "But we decided not to take it."
