St. Lucie outhit Vero Beach 15-13 but they lost 6-4 as their pen collapsed in extra innings.  Each team scored a run in the ninth to keep it going, then they did the same thing in the tenth.  Finally in the eleventh, Vero Beach scored two and St. Lucie couldn’t answer.  Grady Hinchman gave up those two eleventh inning runs and he took the loss.

Drew Butera was the hitting star in the loss. He went two for five with a homerun and three RBIs.
