FORT MYERS, FL - In his second professional start, Matt Hauser pitched five impressive innings and the Fort Myers bullpen continued to shut down the Charlotte Stone Crabs in a 5-0 win on Friday.

Hauser allowed just two singles and a walk while striking out four. He induced two double play balls, including one that ended the fifth inning with runners at the corners.

A.J. Achter, in his second game since being called up from Beloit, retired all six Stone Crabs he faced in the sixth and seventh. He struck out four of those six hitters.

Michael Tonkin pitched the final two innings to close out the game. He struck out the side in the ninth.

The Miracle scored all five of their runs in the first inning against C.J. Riefenhauser. Levi Michael started the rally with a single and after another single from Daniel Ortiz, Kyle Knudson doubled down the right field line to plate two.

Josmil Pinto followed with a walk and Knudson was brought home on an RBI single by Jairo Perez to make it 3-0.

Danny Rams added a run-scoring single that scored Pinto and Angel Morales finished the scoring by hitting a sac fly that plated Perez.

Riefenhauser didn't allow another run and gave up just two hits in innings two through five, but he took the loss.

Hauser improved to 2-1. His only blemishes were a full count walk to Mikie Mahtook after his long layoff between the bottom of the first and top of the second and back-to-back singles by Riccio Torrez and Philip Wunderlich in the fifth.

Knudson, Perez and Morales each registered two-hit games for the Miracle.

The Miracle (32-44, 4-5) and Stone Crabs (32-42, 3-4) conclude their three-game series in Port Charlotte on Saturday. First pitch from Charlotte Sports Park is set for 6:30 p.m.

The State Farm broadcast with Brice Zimmerman and Adam MacDonald will begin at 6:10 p.m. on www.miraclebaseball.com.
