There was no letdown the day after the Fort Myers
Miracle clinched the division title, defeating the
Dunedin Blue Jays 5-1 on Monday night at Grant Field.

It was a rematch of the same pitching match-up that
started the pivotal six game series between the two
teams and once again J.D. Durbin out-pitched Jesse
Harper. Durbin tossed six innings allowing one
unearned run on two hits, while walking four and
striking out three to earn his ninth victory of the
season. Harper went 6.1 innings allowing three runs
(two earned) on five hits while striking out four. He
has now lost two games this season, both to the
Miracle.

The Miracle trailed 1-0 heading into the fifth, but
got an RBI double from Garrett Jones to tie it up.
Jones struck again in the seventh when he singled in
two and the Miracle took the lead for good. They
tacked on two more in the eighth on a two run double
from Stephen Tope. The Miracle are now one win shy of
the 1996 team for most wins in a half. That team
finished with 43 victories in the second half of the
season.
