TAMPA, Fla. - It was a tough night all around for the Tampa Tarpons, who fell to the Lakeland Flying Tigers, 11-0, on Friday at "The Tank." Despite the final score, starter Mariano Salomon turned in a strong effort in his first "true" start as a Tarpon.
The right-hander kept the Flying Tigers quiet early, working out of trouble and holding them scoreless through the first three innings. Salomon ultimately tossed 5.1 innings, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out three.
Offensively, Willy Montero provided a bright spot in the lineup by collecting a pair of singles, reaching base in both the second and seventh innings.
After a tight, scoreless battle through three frames, Lakeland plated a run in the fourth and slowly built on their lead before breaking the game open down the stretch.
The Tarpons will look to bounce back and even the series on Saturday evening at "The Tank." First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
