RHP Simeon Woods Richardson (0-2) made his second start of the season with Dunedin and Clearwater managed to push
across a run in in the top of the first on Madison Stokes RBI single allowing Simon Muzziotti to score to give the Threshers
the early 1-0 lead.
Nick Matera was making his first start of the series behind the plate for Clearwater and took full advantage of his opportunity in the
second when he drilled a three-run homerun to right to push the Threshers lead to 3-0.
The lead would hold the rest of the way as Dunedin struggled to hit with runners on base today and went 0-5 with runners
