Catcher Austin Athmann singled in Cam Gibson in the first inning to give Lakeland an early 1-0 lead. Palm Beach quickly answered with two runs in the third on back-to-back singles from Shane Billings and Dylan Carlson.
The game remained 2-1 until the sixth inning, when Cameron blasted his second home run of the season, a solo shot to left. Danny Hudzina responded with an RBI double in the top of the seventh off Wladimir Pinto, who allowed two runs but picked up the win in his Flying Tigers debut.
Trailing 4-2 in the seventh, the Flying Tigers launched two two-run homers off the bats of Anthony Pereira and Daz Cameron to flip the script and take a 6-4 lead. The moonshot by Cameron gave him his second career multi-homer game and first since April 9, 2017. Dylan Burdeaux extended the lead in the eighth with yet another two-run shot, his third homer in the past two games.
