While Cypress Bay's win against Fort Lauderdale wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Cypress Bay Lightning won by a run and slipped past the Fort Lauderdale Flying L's 11-10. With that victory, the Lightning brought their scoring average up to 6.3 runs per game.

Gabriel Tovar looked comfortable as he tossed 2.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits.

At the plate, Santiago Sanchez was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played. Diego Baron also deserves some recognition as he launched his first home run of the season.

The win (which was Cypress Bay's third in a row) raised their record to 8-6. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. As for Fort Lauderdale, they dropped their record down to 4-8-1 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road.
