THRESHERS WIN REHAB BATTLE 10-5 IN CLEARWATER

BULLPEN BREAKDOWN

The Mighty Mussels' bullpen dominated the Tarpons over the three-game series in Fort Myers, holding Tampa hitters to a .138 batting average and just three earned runs over 19 innings (1.42 ERA). That success carried over into Tuesday's game in Clearwater, but the 'pen has been responsible for the Mussels' last two losses:

Fort Myers' offensive onslaught this past weekend was led by two players - Byron Chourio and Rayne Doncon. Chourio recorded multiple hits in all three games, going 6-for-12 with two walks and a triple (1.238 OPS). Doncon finished the series 5-for-12 with three extra-base hits and the team's only home run (1.295 OPS).
