Blankenbeckler Slugs Blue Jays to 9-6 Win
Dunedin and Clearwater duked it out and the Blue Jays came out victorious.

Robbie Blankenbeckler left his imprint on the 9-6 Dunedin win against the Clearwater Threshers. Blankenbeckler, who is tied for 3rd in the FSL in home runs with 3, hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. The winner was Dunedin reliever Steve Collins, now 1-0. The loser was Jim Bailey.

The Threshers had been locked in a 6-6 tie with the Blue Jays going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old first baseman Dave Hogan came to the plate. Hogan hit a 2-run double on a 1-1 fastball from Clearwater hurler Jim Bailey. It was Hogan's 5th double of the year.

"Some of the guys in here work hard, some of the guys just kind of fall out of bed and get it done. Whatever works I guess, we won this one," Hogan told the Dunedin Chronicle.

The loss drops Clearwater to 7-9.
