Flying Tigers Knock Off Yankees at George M. Steinbrenner Field
Ted Oetken was a vital contributor to the 5-3 Lakeland victory over Tampa. The Flying Tigers center fielder was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Lakeland pitcher Matt Welcher got the win, upping his record to 8-4. Ryan Serl got the loss. Lakeland is now 52-29. Tampa is 26-56.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Dusty Ancona? The Lakeland second baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Flying Tigers on top, 2-0. For the game, Ancona had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We'll savor this win," Ancona told the Lakeland Citizen, "then get ready for the next game."
