Fort Myers's game last Saturday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They blew past the Naples Golden Eagles 10-3. Considering the Green Wave have won eight contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Daciana Harvey made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. Harvey was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Gianni Torres, who scored a run while going 2-for-4. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in doubles (two). Faith Fazzone was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

Fort Myers pushed their record up to 13-5-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.3 runs over those games. As for Naples, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-9.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Fort Myers will welcome Immokalee at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
