Daytona Tortugas 2, Lakeland Flying Tigers 1 (box)

Lakeland took a 1-0 lead into the ninth inning, but Daytona was able to plate a pair of runs off Flying Tigers reliever Whit Mayberry, who ended the game with a blown save and loss. The ninth-inning meltdown wasted another stellar outing from Kevin Ziomek, who struck out five batters in seven shutout innings. He has not allowed a run in 15 innings in his last two starts.
