Dunedin Blue Jays News Release


DUNEDIN, FL - The Dunedin Blue Jays (17-23) used a four run sixth inning to propel themselves ahead of the Fort Myers Miracle (22-18) on Wednesday with a 5-3 win. The Jays were down 3-0 when they put up the four spot on RHP Keaton Steele (L, 1-4) in the sixth inning.

Prior to the Jays taking the lead, RHP Kyle Westwood allowed three runs over five innings. Up 1-0 in the fourth with a runner on, CF Max Murphy lifted a high fly ball to left field that took a hard ricochet off the wall. Murphy chugged all the way around the bases, sliding into home for an inside-the-park home run.

Steele held Dunedin scoreless through the first five innings, but four runs on five hits in the sixth inning did him in. After a walk and single, CF Anthony Alford slapped a two-run double to right-centerfield. Alford also singled in a run in the seventh, giving him his first extra-base hit and first multi-hit game of 2016.

With two outs in the sixth, DH L.B. Dantzler doubled down the right field line to bring in Alford, tying the game. C Mike Reeves promptly singled to right, scoring Dantzler and giving Dunedin the lead for good.

RHP Connor Fisk (W, 2-0) set down all six batters he faced to earn his second win in as many outings this year. RHP Adonys Cardona (H, 4) tossed a scoreless eighth before the Jays saw some drama in the ninth.

LHP Matt Dermody (H, 2) came out to close the game and surrendered three singles while recording one out. With the bases loaded, RHP Carlos Ramirez (S, 4) induced a flyout of 2B Tanner Witt bringing up the previously 3-for-3 C Brian Navarreto with the tying run at second base. Ramirez struck out Navarreto looking to end the game, handing Dunedin their second consecutive win.

The final game of this four game set will be at 6:30 pm on Thursday. RHP Justin Shafer will square off against RHP Felix Jorge.
