Late Rally by Blue Jays Secures 4-2 Win
The Daytona Tortugas could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Laiafi Kalinda into a win. Instead, the Dunedin Blue Jays prevailed, 4-2. Kalinda threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball. Doug Winters was credited with the save, his 16th in 17 tries. The win puts Dunedin at 39-38 this season.

Dunedin used the timely hitting of Chuck King to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said King.
