Miracle fall to Dunedin

Daily News staff

Sunday wasn't the proudest day for the Fort Myers pitching staff in the Miracle's 12-2 loss at Dunedin.

The game got out of hand early, with starter Anthony Swarzak allowing five runs and nine hits in 4.5 innings.

By the eighth inning, Fort Myers called on third baseman Jose Leger to get out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam. Leger coaxed a soft liner to short to end the inning.

Dunedin scored in six of its eight times at-bat. Every Blue Jay starter notched a hit, and eight of nine scored at least one run.

The two teams play against at 7 p.m. tonight in Dunedin.

The Miracle send Kevin Slowey (0-0, 2.08) to the hill against Jesse Litsch (2-1, 4.67). The game can be heard live on WWCN/AM-770 beginning with the pre-game show at 6:45 p.m.
