Doug Merrill pitched a gem to lead St. Lucie to victory over the Lakeland Flying Tigers, 5-1. Merrill got the win, improving to 6-4. He gave up 6 hits and walked 1 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. The win lifted the St. Lucie record to 36-27.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Arturo Granados? The 26-year old left fielder Granados stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put St. Lucie up, 2-1. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Merrill said after the game.
