Dustin Lawley: 1-4, HR, BB, 2 RBI, 2 R.
PH Tyler Pill: 1-1, 2B. (With Brandon Nimmo and Kyle Johnson on the bench, Mgr. Wally Backman sent pitcher Pill up to pinch hit. Pill, a switch hitter, is batting .471 on the season. And, of course, Pill came through.

St. Lucie (63-48) nips Fort Myers (66-47) 6-5.

Jeremy Hefner had a setback in his rehab program: 1.0 IP, 3 R, 3 H,2 BB.
Seth Lugo: (W, 6-1) 5.0 IP, 2 R, 2 H, (HR) 4 BB, 5 K.
Julian Hilario: 1.0 IP, 0 R, H, BB.

L.J. Mazzilli: 2-5, RBI.
Gilbert Gomez: 2-4, 2B, 3 RBI, R.
Gavin Cecchini: 3-3, BB, R. (Cecchini’s .221 avg. since his promotion to St. Lucie may not be too impressive, but there are signs he has finally acclimated himself to High A pitching. In his last 8 games, Gavin is hitting .393, with an OBP over .500.)

　

Game 1: Savannah (72-39) stifles Charleston (56-59) 2-0.

A strong performance by Robert Whalen (W, 7-0) with 5.1 shutout innings: 0 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 3 K.
Another dominant relief outing for Akeel Moris: (S, 13) 1.2 IP, 0 R, 0H, 0 BB, 4 K.

Yeixon Ruiz: 1-3, 2B, R.
Dominic Smith: 1-2, 2B, BB, RBI, R.
That’s about all the offense Savannah could generate. They had only 2 hits on the day. Thank heaven Whalen and Morris were able to make it stand up.

　

Game 2: Savannah (73-39) slaps Charleston (56-60) 5-3 for the sweep.

Octavio Acosta looked strong in his first start since his promotion to Savannah: 5.0 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K.
Darwin Frias gave up a run, allowing the RiverDogs to tie, but hung in there to benefit from the Sand Gnats‘ 2 run outburst in their final at bat: (BS, 1) (W, 5-1) 2.0 IP, R, 2 H, 0 BB, 4 K.

Nelfi Zapata: 2-3, 2B, RBI.
Stefan Sabol: 2-2, 2 HR, BB, 4 RBI, 2 R. (Sabol, who has had a disappointing season in his second year in Savannah, hitting .195, shows a flash of promise. In his last 9 games he is batting .381 with a SLG of .762. Nine games is a tiny sample, probably indicative of nothing, but hopefully it builds Sabol‘s confidence and provides a springboard for the balance of this season.)
