St. Lucie scored four runs in the fifth inning to take a 5-1 lead but the pen gave up four late runs and the end result was a 6-5 loss to Palm Beach.  Jonathan Niese had a pretty good start go to waste and he gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.  Eddie Camacho took the loss and he gave up three innings in the final two frames and he struck out four.

Dustin Martin homered and drove in two runs in the loss.  Rafael Arroyo doubled twice and drove in two runs while Nick Evans went three for five with a double and two runs.
