Pitching went out the windown in St. Lucie’s 12-11 loss to Lakeland in eleven innings.  St. Lucie took a 10-1 lead into the seventh inning and the pitchers gave up nine runs in the final three frames, including four in the ninth, to send the game into extra frames.  Then St. Lucie scored a run in the eleventh but gave up two in the bottom half of the inning to take the loss.  Brandon Nall took the loss and he not only gave up the tying run in the ninth, but he also gave up the two runs in the eleventh.

There were plenty of hitting stars but Daniel Murphy was a notch above the rest.  He went four for six with a double, three RBIs and two runs.
