Dunedin 16 - Fort Myers 4
Marcus Knecht did his best impression of Josh Hamilton by going 4 for 5 with 2 HRs and 5 RBI. Despite coming up a little short of Hamilton's magic, the game worked miracles for his slash line as he approached the Mendoza line after a wretched start to the season. Sean Nolin had another good outing on the mound giving up just one unearned run to go with 5 strikeouts and 1 walks. His 3.7 K/BB rate and 2.72 FIP look sharp but he is getting less than half of his outs on the ground.
Sean Nolin - 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 R (0 ER), 1 BB, 5 K
38.2 IP, 2.33 ERA, 2.72 FIP, 37:10 K:BB, 0.88 GO/AO
