Win Streak Now at 7 for Flying Tigers
Lakeland beat Tampa at Joker Marchant Stadium, eking out a 6-5 win. The triumph was primarily due to left fielder John Wirth. He was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Reliever Javier Hernandez picked up the win. His record improves to 7-5. Jeff Tinch took the loss. Tampa is in the throes of a long losing streak, which is now 9 games.

Wirth had a game-changing double in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-1 fastball from Jeff Tinch, he banged a 2-run double to left-center, giving the Flying Tigers a 6-5 lead. It was the 4th double of the year for Wirth.

"I like the roll we're on right now," said Wirth after the game.
