3.0 Games Back
Third Place
Not great, but certainly not the horrible start Lakeland got off to last season. Outside of some shaky infield defense and a road-heavy schedule, this has been a good start to the season. The team is 7th in the pitching-heavy league with a 3.62 ERA and 9th in runs scored. […]

Porcello pitched another good game giving up just one earned run, his first of the year, on […]
