Sal Romano had a rough 2nd inning, allowing five runs before getting the third out. He’d make it through five innings with just those runs allowed. Daytona’s offense would get his back as they would rally back in the 5th and 6th innings, scoring twice in each inning to tie the game up with Sebastian Elizalde driving in all four of the runs. The Tortugas would take the lead on a Carlton Daal sac fly in the top of the 9th, but the bullpen would give up the lead and Lakeland would walk-off with the win.
