Miracle clinch first half FSL Western Division title   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #187 of 1866 |
The Fort Myers Miracle got one run in the first and
hung on the rest of the way to defeat the Dunedin Blue
Jays and clinch the first half Western Division title.
1-0 on Sunday evening at Grant Field.

Colby Miller went 8.1 shutout innings, allowing five
hits while walking one and striking out three to earn
his sixth victory of the season. Beau Kemp threw one
pitch, in relief, and got Aaron McEachran to ground
into a game ending double play.

The only run for the Miracle came in the first inning,
when James Tomlin led off the game with a walk. He
went to second on a sac bunt by Tommy Watkins and
advanced to third on a single from Joe Mauer. Jason
Kubel then hit a sac fly to left to drive in the only
run of the game. Blue Jay starter Chad Pleiness went
seven innings allowing one run on one hit, while
walking two and striking out three.

The Miracle can finish no worse than in a tie for
first, but there is no playoff in the FSL. The first
tie breaker is head to head matchup. The Miracle are
currently 4-3 against the Blue Jays this season with
one game remaining, meaning they can finish no worse
than tied in that category. The second tie breaker is
divisional record. The Miracle are now 27-15 in the
west while the Blue Jays are 22-20 with just four
games to go. Even if the Miracle lost their remaining
four games and the Blue Jays won their remaining four
games, the Miracle would win the second tie breaker,
thus giving them the first half division championship.
