It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Fort Myers had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Charlotte Fightin' Tarpons a 5-0 shutout. Five seems to be a good number for the Green Wave as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Not much got past Owen Augustine, who gave up just four hits and racked up six Ks to keep Charlotte off the board. Augustine has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Madrid Tucker, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Michael Magas, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
