Mets Stumble, Losing to Flying Tigers, 9-4
The 9-4 Lakeland win over St. Lucie was due in large part to Lou Watson. The Flying Tigers center fielder went 2-3 with a double and 2 walks, while scoring 4 times. Lakeland starter Sam McClure was credited with the win after throwing 99 pitches over 5.1 innings. His record now stands at 2-0. The victory gives Lakeland a record of 41-20.

Chip Wurzburg, who is tied for 5th in the FSL in stolen bases with 6, helped out the Lakeland cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the left fielder went 2 for 5 with 2 singles.

"We'll kick back a while," said Wurzburg, "and then get ready for the next one."
