Tampa finally got a couple of games in after a couple of days of rain and the end result is a doubleheader split with St. Lucie.  In game one, the Yankees comeback fell short in a 5-4 loss.  They scored three in the seventh inning but couldn’t push across the winning run.  Daniel Brewer went three for four with a double, a run and an RBI.  Eric Fryer went two for four.  Ryan Zink took the loss and he fell to 4-7.  He gave up four runs on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Game two went substantially better and it was Lance Pendleton who threw a gem of a game.  He gave up just a hit and a walk with two strikeouts in five shutout innings.  Jonathan Hovis struck out two in a shutout seventh and he picked up his tenth save of the season.  Seth Fortenberry went two for three with a double and a run while Daniel Brewer went two for four with a run.
