There's no place like home for Fletcher, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They walked away with a 6-1 victory over the First Coast Buccaneers on Tuesday. For the Senators, this counts as revenge for the 2-0 win the Buccaneers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.
Kyle Johnson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on two hits and racked up six Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Fletcher's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Nick Oliviera, who scored a run while going 2-for-4. Gabe Hernandez also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen bases of the season.
