Blue Jays Land Close Win
Dunedin turned a good effort from starter Jorge Vargas into a win over the Lakeland Flying Tigers at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. The Blue Jays won the game, 3-2. Dunedin now sits at 61-47, while Lakeland falls to 73-35.

The decisive blow was delivered by Steve Collins in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Filip Pauw to win the game for Dunedin. The home crowd went nuts.

"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Collins said.
