CLEARWATER, Fla. - An one-run lead was not enough on Friday night, as the Threshers fell to the Flying Tigers 6-2 in 10 innings. Clearwater was ahead 2-1 in the top of the 9th when Lakeland forced extras by converting a two-out error into the game-tying run. A four-run top of the 10th inning determined the contest's final score.

Threshers catcher Abrahan Gutierrez walked to lead off the bottom of the 2nd inning, then followed two wild pitches and a pick-off attempt throwing-error around the bases to open the scoring at 1-0. Four innings later, the backstop led off the 6th inning with a solo shot over the right field fence for his first home run of the season and a 2-0 Threshers lead.

Lakeland reliever Bryce Tassin (1-0) earned the win. Flying Tigers batters stroked nine hits to the Threshers five, the teams combined for five errors and 24 runners left on base in the 3-hour 40-minutes of game time.
