Well, it looks like St. Lucie blew their chance yesterday because Eric Brown was shelled as their season ended with a 13-2 loss to Brevard County.  Brown gave up six runs in 2 1/3 innings but he had some help because the pen yielded seven runs as well.

Emmanuel Garcia was the hitting star in the loss.  He had a team high three hits in the game.  Nick Evans doubled, drew a walk, scored a run and drove in one.

St. Lucie thought they were into the Florida State League finals but Joe Hietpas, with some help from Jose De La Torre, gave up two runs in the bottom of the ninth that turned a 6-5 lead into a 7-6 loss.

Nick Evans doubled three times, scored and drove in a run.  Daniel Murphy was a perfect two for two with three walks, two runs and two RBIs.

St. Lucie took a 1-0 lead in their best of three game series with Brevard County behind a solid outing by Jonathan Niese.  He gave up just one hit with two walks and nine strikeouts in six shutout innings.

Nick Evans was one of the hitting stars in the win.  He went two for four with two doubles, two runs and an RBI.  Victor Mendez singled twice, drove in two and scored once.
