Stone Crabs Lose, 4-2, as Threshers Rally
Clearwater parlayed a decent outing from starter Steve Ives into a solid win over the Charlotte Stone Crabs. The final score was 4-2. In 7 innings, Ives surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. Charlotte falls to 9-13.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Josh McLaughlin? The 25-year old third baseman McLaughlin stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put Clearwater up, 4-2. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Clearwater skipper Hector Santiago.
