KISSIMMEE, FL: The Florida Fire Frogs surrendered two leads and dropped the middle game of a three-game series to the Clearwater Threshers, 4-3, on Tuesday evening at Osceola County Stadium.
Things started well for the home team. RHP
The offense answered by having the first three men reach in the bottom half.
The Threshers came back to tie the game with single tallies in the second and third. In the second,
Tarnok worked four stanzas in his start, permitting two earned runs, three hits, three walks, and a home-run while adding a trio of strikeouts while not factoring in the decision.
The Fire Frogs snagged the lead back thanks to a leadoff double off the bat of Ramos.
In the seventh, two costly errors put the tying run into scoring position and subsequently aided the Threshers in tying the game. Lugbauer misplayed a grounder hit towards him, and Isranel Wilson dropped a fly ball in left-center that kept the inning alive. Maton grabbed a base hit against RHP
Mayer would later be the hero when he launched a ball well beyond the left-field fence off Hernandez to give the Threshers the lead in the ninth, a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Wilson was phenomenal in his Advanced-A debut, giving up an unearned run and two hits over 2 and 1/3 innings. Hernandez (2-1) struck out four but was saddled with the setback. LHP
