Edward McLaughlin closed it out for Lakeland, earning his 16th save.

The Flying Tigers had to work out of trouble in the top of the sixth. The score was 8-2, Lakeland, with two out. St. Lucie, with the bases loaded, was mounting a threat. Enrique Gomez dug in at the plate, but on a first pitch fastball, he grounded out.

Lakeland has won 4 straight, while St. Lucie has lost 6 in a row.
