The wind was blowing out and a number of balls were hit to—or over—the fence when Immokalee outhit the hometown Rays Thursday night, April 29. Immokalee scored six in the second inning and were able to hold off a spirited Marco Island Academy, 7-4.
“We struggled at the beginning," said Rays head coach Lazaro Ferro after the game. "We put some runners on. But we didn’t capitalize on the opportunity to hit the ball. On the other hand, you saw some line drives being hit, but right at the players. It’s just baseball sometimes, you get a great hit, but it’s right at the player.”
The Rays, vying for their first winning season as a program, scattered five hits among five batters. One offensive highlight for the Rays came when Ryan Sweeney popped one over the fence, his second home run of the season.
The Rays move to 10-9 heading toward their district playoff game against Southwest Florida Christian, Monday, May 2, in Ft. Myers. Immokalee improves to 4-13.
