The Dunedin Blue Jays did just enough to sneak past the St. Lucie Mets, 6-5, at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. Dunedin pitcher Jorge Vargas, in particular, had a standout performance. The victory gives the Blue Jays a record of 70-55.

In the bottom of the sixth, Jim Unknown delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Dunedin designated hitter hit a run-scoring single, putting the Blue Jays in front, 6-5.

"I felt good. I felt like I was locating the ball well and I was able to keep them off-balance," said Vargas.
