Tortugas Prevail, as Round 1 Goes to the Wire Tuesday, September 15th , 2111 Florida State League pundits who figured the Round 1 between the Daytona Tortugas and Dunedin Blue Jays would go the distance were right on the mark. The two teams battled back and forth in a spirited series, with Daytona coming out on top thanks to a 9-0 win in the deciding game at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, to wrap things up 3-2. "You get to the last game and anything can happen, so we're overjoyed to come out on top," said Tortugas left fielder Miguel Gutierrez, who was named series MVP. For the series, Gutierrez had 7 hits for a .368 average. He had 2 home runs, 3 RBI and scored 5 runs. The Daytona Tortugas will play against the Palm Beach Cardinals in the next round. Palm Beach won their series against the Fort Myers Miracle 3 games to 2. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes. View Boxscore View Game Log |
