Flying Tigers Over Mets, 4-2
The 4-2 Lakeland win over St. Lucie was due in large part to Juan Martínez. The Flying Tigers designated hitter threw 6.0 innings of 4-hit ball. Lakeland is now 88-44, 15 games up in the FSL North.

The Flying Tigers got a big at-bat from first baseman Jesús Ruíz. For the game, Ruíz went 2-4 with a double. He drove in 2 runs. In the bottom of the first, with the bases loaded, he stroked a 2-run double. His 29th double of the season gave Lakeland a 2-0 lead.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Ruíz told the Lakeland Today.
