BOX SCORE

CLEARWATER, FL – A six-run fifth inning helped the Clearwater Threshers (55-52, 12-29) start off their homestand with a victory, taking down the Tampa Tarpons (43-63, 19-21) 7-2 on Tuesday night at BayCare Ballpark. The Threshers continue their home series with a Wednesday afternoon game against Tampa.

With two outs in the bottom of the second, Griffin Burkholder laced a 2-2 pitch to left centerfield and sped around the bases for a triple. He scored on a balk by Tarpons starter Bryce Warrecker soon after, giving the Threshers the game's first run.

John Spikerman singled to lead off the fifth inning and moved to second when Kodey Shojinaga smacked a base hit into right. Kehden Hettiger walked to load the bases before reliever Osiel Rodriguez replaced Warrecker. Starlyn Caba greeted Tampa’s newly entered reliever with a single up the middle that plated Spikerman from third. Dante Nori followed with a single up the middle to plate two runs and bring the Threshers lead to four. Devin Saltiban capped off the six-run frame with a three-run home run to right, inflating the Threshers advantage to seven runs.

Tampa got on the board with a two-out double to drive in a run and bring the deficit down to six. They added another run in the seventh to cut the Threshers lead down to five. The Threshers retired the final six batters in a row to seal a 7-2 victory.

Juan Amarante allowed one run on two hits with four walks and eight strikeouts in 6.0 innings. Orlando Gonzalez walked three and allowed one run in 0.1 inning.
