Tampa Bay Absorbs 5-2 Loss to Miami
Miami pitcher Gart Jansen did his part in helping his team defeat the Tampa Bay Thunder, 5-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. The Sun Sox improved their record to 21-52 by beating Tampa Bay.

Nolan Wheeler had a big 2-run double for the Sun Sox in the bottom of the third inning. With Miami leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Peter Auman and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Sun Sox ahead, 3-0.

"I liked the focus, I liked the effort," said Sun Sox manager Anthony Sexton.
