Lakeland Tops Dunedin, 3-0, Claims 2-1 Series Lead
When the games really matter, the Lakeland Flying Tigers put on their best show, beating the Dunedin Blue Jays by a final score of 3-0. Joel Vallance threw 6.1 innings allowing 3 runs. Lakeland now leads Dunedin 2-1 in the best-of-5 affair.

Juan Martínez had a direct impact on the outcome. Martínez contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the first inning to put Lakeland up, 1-0.

Martínez told a Lakeland Today reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium in Dunedin.
