Threshers Squeeze By Dunedin, 5-4
Clearwater parlayed a decent outing from starter Ben Perry into a solid win over the Dunedin Blue Jays. The final score was 5-4. Daniel Brunt recorded his 4th save for Clearwater. The win puts Clearwater at 7-8.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Sammy Christensen? The 23-year old right fielder Christensen stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Clearwater up, 5-3. For the game, he was 2 for 2, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We took home the win," said Perry. "What's not to like?"
