Matthew Walker dropped to 1-6 on the season with a tough start in Vero Beach’s 8-2 loss to Fort Myers.  He gave up five runs on five hits and five walks with one strikeout in two innings.

Alex Jamieson doubled and he drove in both Vero Beach runs.  Neil Walton doubled twice in the loss.

Vero Beach had plenty of hitting stars in their 8-4 win over Sarasota.  James Hall went three for five with a double, a triple, two RBIs and a run.  Alex Jamieson went two for five with two RBIs and two runs.

Michael Wlodarczyk picked up the win with a nice start. He gave up one run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings and the win pushes his record to 3-1 on the season.

This was a tough loss because Vero Beach had a 2-1 lead and gave it up in the ninth and then they had a 3-2 lead in the eleventh before Eddie de la Cruz gave up two runs in the bottom half of the inning to lose it.  Even worse, a great start by Wade Davis went to waste.  He gave up one run on three hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings.

Alex Jamieson put Vero Beach on the board in the third with a solo homerun.  Patrick Cottrell also had a nice game and he went two for four with a double and he drove in the other two runs in the 4-3 loss.
