The Rock Cats first got on the board in the fourth inning when Guzman led off the inning with a single.

Vero Beach Devil Rays
The Rays catcher argues with the umpire while Erik Lis retreats to the dugout


Fort Myers 4 at Vero Beach 7

Record 11 - 14

W: M. Wlodarczyk (5-4, 3.33); L: Z. Ward (2-13, 3.36)
HR: FTM: E. Lis (8), B. Dinkelman (3), S. Tolleson (3). VER: S. Pedroza 2 (12).

E: Ward (1, throw), Woodard (1, fielding).

One assumes with a major league rehab on the mound for the opposing team, that Erik Lis is going to hit a home run. That was certainly the case, but it was Brian Dinkelman who slugged one over the fence in the first inning off Al Reyes.

But that lead did not last. Zach Ward hit Jackson Brennan to start off his stint on the mound. Josh Paul reached on a botched attempt at a double play when ward overthrew the ball. Rhyne Hughes then singled to load the bases. Ward got Aaron Sink to ground out, but Brennan came in on the play. Then Sergio Pedroza went yard, his first of 2 home runs in the game.

J.T. Hall used his speed an a pair of singles in the 2nd inning to make the score 5-1 Vero Beach. Ward would settle down after that, but the damage was done. His final line score would be 5 runs, 4 earned, on 4 hits and 1 walk while striking out 4 over 5 innings.

Once he got off the mound, the Miracle broke out their bats. Steve Tolleson and Lis both homered in the sixth to make it 5-3, but the Devil Rays took the runs back when Pedroza promptly put one out of the park off soft-pitch reliever Robert Delany. A wild pitch by Delaney saw J.T.Hall reach first on a 3rd strike droped pitch. Then Neil Walton tripled him in, making it 7-3.

Brian Dinkleman drew a walk in the 9th, and scored on a Lis force out which took Juan Portes down at 3nd base.

While the Miracle showed some bat, 10 men were left on base, including Toby Gardenhire who singled in the 7th inning. The Miracle have shown that they have no idea of how to play with men on base in the past, and Monday's game at Holman Stadium was no different.

The two teams rematch tonight with Oswaldo Sosa going to the mound for the Miracle. Tampa Bay's Doug Waechter will make a rehab start for the Devil Rays.

GCL Reds 5 at GCL Twins 11

Current Record: 16 - 6

W: T. Wright (1-2, 8.82); L: J. Marizan (0-3, 13.94)
HR: RDS: N. Soto (1). TWI: Y. Solarte (1).

Thom Wright picked up his first win of the season on the mound, and new-comer Danny Rams went 3-for-4 at the plate to lead the GCL Twins to a 11-5 win over the GCL Reds at the Lee County Sportsplex.

The Twins took an early lead in the first with Jeanfred Brito doubling to lead off. A Ben Revere single moved him to third, and he came home on a Yangervis Solarte single. Juan Richardson hit into a double play, that left Revere at 3rd. Jon Waltenbury walked before Rams brought Revere and Waltenbury home on a ground ball single to center. The Twins took two more walks, but James Beresford flew out to end the inning.

Wright hit Devin Mesoraco with a pitch but he was taken out on a fielder's choice. With one on base, Neftali Soto homered to give the Reds 2. It would be all that Wright would allow though, and the Twins took the runs back in the bottom of the inning when Solarte went yard with Revere on base. Waltenbury took his second walk of the game, moved over to 3rd on a Rams single and come home on a wild pitch by Jose Medina.

Andrew Schmiesing continued the scoring in the bottom of the 3rd when he came home on a Solarte sac-fly.

The Twins exploded for 4 more runs in the sixth with Waltenbury singling in Solarte, and Kevin Harrington plating Waltenbury and Rams on a double in his first at bat back from a separated shoulder. Beresford brought him home before Brito flew out to end the inning.

Jakub Toufar allowed a triple to Soto in the seventh, who scored on a Brodie Pullen single. A Carlos Mendez single off Michael Mopas and a walk to Jordan Wideman led to 2 more for the Reds but that was all they would manage.

Solarte was 3-for-4 with 2 runs and 4 RBIs. Waltenbury saw the bag 3 times, going 1-for-2 at the plate with 2 walks, 3 runs and 1 RBI. Brito was 2-for-4 with a run and Beresford was 2-for-5 with 1 RBI.

The Twins host the Red Sox Tuesday at noon before heading out to Twin Lakes Park on Wednesday.
