Late Rally by Miracle Locks Up 4-3 Win
Hammond Stadium played host to some dramatic action.

The Fort Myers Miracle defeated the Daytona Tortugas, 4-3. Doing his part was right fielder Julius Dupree, who went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times. The win went to Duane Hutchins in relief, making him now 1-0. Don Chase took the loss for Daytona.

The decisive blow was delivered by Greg Boyson in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 25-year old left-handed pitcher Ernie Thompson to win the game for Fort Myers. The home crowd went nuts.

Boyson attributed the win to "concerted effort and focus."

The win gives Fort Myers a record of 5-5.
