Flying Tigers right fielder Joe Sheehan left his mark on his team's 8-3 win over the Dunedin Blue Jays. Sheehan, who is tied for 8th in the FSL with a .447 slugging percentage, went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Lakeland in the contest. Donnie Hardy, the winning pitcher, is now 2-0. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 4. Dave Miller earned the save for Lakeland, his 1st of the year.

With Lakeland leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Sheehan hit a changeup from Joel Vallance for a run-scoring double. It was his 17th double of the season and put the Flying Tigers ahead, 2-0.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Lakeland manager Donald Lutz.

The triumph puts Lakeland at 72-34 for the season.
