Florida Fire Frogs News Release
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Florida Fire Frogs suffered their first series sweep of the season, as the road team fell, 11-2, in the finale of the three-game set against the Daytona Tortugas at Jackie Robinson Ballpark on Wednesday night.
Ian Anderson (0-2) surrendered a run on four-consecutive hits to start the night for the 19-year-old, before retiring Taylor Trammell on a flyout to left for the first out of the inning. Daniel Sweet bounced out to second, bringing home T.J. Friedl for the second run of the inning, and after a walk to Bruce Yari, Anderson hit Malik Collymore to force in the third run of the frame.
Daytona (15-5) tacked on solo runs in the second and third innings to put Florida (6-14) in a five-run deficit, and force Anderson out of the game after just 2.2 innings.
The third-overall pick in the 2016 draft tossed just 2.2 innings for his second-consecutive start, allowing five runs on seven hits, two walks and two strikeouts in the losing effort on Wednesday.
The Tortugas used a two-out rally to plate six runs and open the score up to 11-0.
The Fire Frogs broke up the shutout with two runs in the seventh. Omar Obregon (1x4, 2B, RBI) and Anfernee Seymour (1x4, RBI) picked up run-scoring hits in the frame against Nick Howard (SV, 2).
Wennington Romero (2-0) picked up the win for the home team, as the southpaw held Florida off the board through six innings on four hits and five strikeouts.
The Fire Frogs continue their seven-game road trip with game one of a four-game series against the Lakeland Flying Tigers beginning Thursday night at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium. RHP Bryse Wilson (1-0, 0.68) takes the mound for Florida in the opener against Lakeland's RHP Anthony Castro (2-0, 0.54). First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
