KISSIMMEE, FL: The Florida Fire Frogs and St. Lucie Mets played two more one-run games on Thursday afternoon, splitting a doubleheader at Osceola County Stadium with Florida coming out on top in Game 1, 3-2, and St. Lucie prevailing, 2-1, in Game 2.
The Fire Frogs took three of the four contests in the series and have now won consecutive sets and five of their last seven games.
Game 1: LHP
The Fire Frogs gave him some support in the bottom of the first.
On in relief of Pfeifer, RHP
Hernandez (3-1) would rebound in the eighth, not permitting the placed runner to go past second. He blew a save try but ended up with the win, tossing 2 and 1/3's stanzas and fanning three Mets.
A single by
McIlraith (0-1) struck out four over six outs. RHP
Game 2: The hero of the first game gave the Fire Frogs their most important swing of the contest. Jenista left the yard for the third time this season off RHP
That was the only mistake St. Lucie's starter would make. Rennie (3-2) went the distance, yielding just four hits and mixing in seven strikeouts.
RHP
A two-out rally in the sixth turned the momentum for the Mets.
White (2-2) collected six strikeouts and walked one with three hits against him in his three stanzas of work.
