Daytona 6/16/2015
The Tortugas of Daytona came to town for what they thought was an easy win. All they had to do was finish off the Miracle (and have Clearwater loose -- which they did) and they would clinch the first half championship. Descending into the bottom of the 9th, it looked to be a sure thing, with Daytona leading 4 to 2, and 2 outs. Some bad play by Daytona (a walk or two, an error) and the bases were loaded. Another walk and a run. Still about to put it to bed, a botched throw (or catch - you decide) to first and not only is the runner safe, but the Miracle scores two to finish 5 to 4 with a win, and the Tortugas have to wait for their championship.
