Johnny Woodward of Ft. Myers hit a solo HR in the top of the second inning. The Miracle lead it 1-0 in the middle of the second.

 

Mateo: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR, 3 GO-1 FO.

Tony Thomas in the playoffs: 13 for 26, .500/.552/.692/1.244, 3 BB, 2 K.

Daytona up 3-1 after 2!!!

 

Yusuf Carter hit a 2-out solo HR. Then, Jonathan Mota singled, Darwin Barney doubled him in and finally, Tony Thomas singled in Barney.

[Guest]

Marcos Mateo: 3 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR, 5 GO-2 FO

 

Jim Adduci led off the bottom of the 3rd with a home run. 4-1 Daytona!

 

Daytona tacks on an unearned run in the third on a Russ Canzler sac fly to score Ty Wright. 5-1 Daytona after 3!

[Guest]

Marcos Mateo gives up 2 runs in the 4th inning. At one point, Ft Myers had 1 run in, 2 guys on base and the tying run up to bat with no outs but Mateo only gave up one more run while getting three outs. Andrew Cashner is warming up in the pen.

 

Mateo: 4 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K.

 

Daytona leads it 5-3 in the middle of the 4th.

I've hammered the Cubs for their usage of Adduci, but good for him, happy to see him get a HR.

[TruffleShuffle]

d-cobs lead 7-3 in the 8th

[Guest]

Daytona up 7-3 in the 9th, 2 down...

[Guest]

Daytona wins it! First FSL championship since 2000!

[Guest]

Besides Adduci and Carter's solo home runs, Darwin Barney had 2 RBI doubles.

 

Cashner finished his season fantastically: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K.

 

And Blake Parker struck out the side to end the game.

[Guest]

Tony Thomas was named the FSL championship MVP.

Daytona wins it! First FSL championship since 2000!

First outright championship, but they were co-champions in 2004 when the championship series was cancelled due to a hurricane.

Judging by Cashner's numbers he's stepped it up in the playoffs.

Who was on that 2000 roster Raisin?

Who was on that 2000 roster Raisin?

 

Their best hitter was Hee Seop Choi and they also had David Kelton and a horrid Jeff Goldbach. Their pitching was anchored by Mike Wuertz and Steve Smyth. Ben Christensen started that season in Daytona and Juan Cruz finished that season there.

TheBaseballCube says that this is their first outright championship since the 95 team, starring Jose Molina and Jeremi Gonzalez, won it. I take it they're wrong?

Apologies if it's already been posted, but someone was cool enough to post the final out and celebration:

I think they are wrong. I found an independent website that verifies the 2000 championship.

[Guest]

Daytona won the FSL championship in 1995, 2000 and 2008. They were co-champs in 2004 due to the hurricanes.

 

Thanks for the You Tube link, Iceblink.
