The D'Jays lost the first game of their 3 game playoff series and the Doubledays won as they prepare for their own playoff run.

Lakeland 15, Dunedin 6

The Jays will have to win their next two games if they hope to advance to the Florida State League Championships after dropping the first game of round 1. Kurt Isenberg got the start and gave up 7 runs on 8 hits (3 HR's) in just 3.1 innings. The offense hung kept them in the game temporarily after scoring 1 in the first, 2 in the second, and 3 in the third. But Brian Reed and Jeremy Harper didn't have much luck containing the Tigers offense either as they combined to give up the other 8 runs. Davis Romero finally stopped the bleeding with a scoreless 7th inning but the game was already out of reach. The D'Jays need a win tonight or they'll be heading back home.

Box score

Mahoning Valley 3, Auburn 4

The Doubledays took and 2-0 lead in the third after RBI singles from Matt Cooksey and Emmanuel Sena. Kristian Bell started and pitched well but was removed from the game after 3 scoreless innings with 4 K's. Sean Stidfole came on in relief and quickly gave up 3 runs to cough up the lead. Stidfole settled down however and lasted 3 innings without allowing any more runs. Adrian Martin and Yesson Berroa were strong in relief, holding the opposition scoreless, while Kyle Bohm put the game away with a 2 run homer in the 8th.

Box score

Three Stars!!

With only one team still in regular season action, there isn't much to choose from. But thanks to our new weighting system, the awardees won't pick up too many points either.

Third star: Yesson Berroa - Struck out the side for his 6th save
Second star: Kristian Bell - 3 shutout innings with 4 K's.
First star: Kyle Bohm - 2 for 3 with the game winning HR.
