Yankees Top Flying Tigers, 5-2
|
The Tampa Yankees defeated the Lakeland Flying Tigers, 5-2, in Florida State League action at Joker Marchant Stadium. Tampa pitcher Nate Merritt had a standout performance. Tampa pitcher Jim Creppel earned the win, hiking his record to 2-2. Armando Contreras suffered the loss. Tampa now sits at 59-65, while Lakeland falls to 62-62.
Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Justin Spector? The 23-year old center fielder Spector stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put Tampa up, 4-1. For the game, he was 3 for 4, including 2 doubles and 1 single.
"We took home the win," said Spector. "What's not to like?"
