St. Lucie 7, Palm Beach 5
Angel Cuan had a solid outing, but a near bullpen meltdown brought the game to a much closer, 7-5 St. Lucie wIN
Key Players:
- Cory Vaughn – 2 for 4, 2-run home run, 1 stolen base
- Cesar Puello – 3 for 4, 2 runs, 1 RBI, 1 stolen base

- Danny Muno – 2 for 3, 2 walks, 1 run, 1 stolen base
- Angel Cuan – 7 IP, 6 hits allowed, 1 run, 3 strikeouts
Player Of The Game: Cory Vaughn, who went 2 for 4 with his 21st home run of the season as well as 17th steal. Vaughn still strikes out at a healthy rate, but when nearly half of your hits go for extra bases, its a good sign.

Johnson City 14, Kingsport 3
