Here's a look at how some former and potential future Gwinnett Stripers fared:

Veteran utility-man Pedro Florimón continued to swing the bat well, hitting a home run off Tigers lefty Matt Moore on Thursday. Additionally, Florimon finished 1-for-2 on Saturday against the Tigers, he is now hitting .385 this spring.
Longtime Gwinnett infielder Sean Kazmar Jr. went a perfect 2-for-2 and scored a run in Friday's win against the Blue Jays. Kazmar Jr. bumped his spring average up to .375 (totals: 2 games, 2-for-3, 1 R). Additionally, outfielder Ryan LaMarre went 1-for-1, scored two runs and added a walk in Friday's contest (totals: 2 games, 1-for-3, 2 R).
Highly touted outfield prospect Cristian Pache entered Saturday's game as a pinch-runner and went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored. Pache is hitting .375 this spring and has three RBIs (totals: 1-for-4, 1 2B, 1 R).
After going hitless in his previous five plate appearances, catcher Alex Jackson went 2-for-2 Sunday against the Marlins and homered for the second time this spring. His dinger came off right-hander Drew Steckenrider (totals: 3 games, 2-for-7, 1 HR, 1 R, 1 RBI). Also in Sunday's game, infielder Andrés Blanco hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth off Brian Moran.
