Great moment before the game as Daniel Poncedeleon threw out the first pitch. Great to see him back and healthy!

Memphis wins the first game of the PCL semi-finals.

Magneuris Sierra has played at 4 levels of professional baseball this year. Palm Beach (A+), St. Louis (MLB), Springfield (AA), and finally Memphis (AAA).

Tyler O’Neill continues to flex his massive power. 6 HR’s in his last 8 games.

Aledmys Diaz started at second base and pumped two home runs, which tied a Memphis playoff record.

Dakota Hudson drew the start and pitched very effectively for his first playoff win. Hudson kept the ball on the ground with 8 groundouts to 1 flyouts.

Ft. Myers 2, Palm Beach 3

  • Jose Martinez - 2-4, 2B, RBI, BB

  • Connor Jones - 6.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K

Palm Beach wins the abbreviated Florida State League Championship, along with Dunedin, due to Hurricane Irma.

Connor Jones stepped up in a big way, tossing six solid frames of ball only for the bullpen to relinquish the lead the very next inning.

Thomas Spitz was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the 9th to win the Championship. Talk about taking one for the team!

Evan Mendoza won the game on a bases-loaded single through the defender at second base and into the outfield. Video of the play is below:

Ricardo Bautista had 2 assists -- one at home and one at second base.

Alex Fagalde unraveled in the 7th inning. The inning started tied 2-2, but two quick singles, and then a throwing error by the pitcher, brought home 2 unearned runs.
