Miracle win, but fail to make postseason

By Naples Daily News staff

The Fort Myers Miracle whipped the Sarasota Reds, 8-1, on Friday night, but their postseason hopes went by the wayside when Dunedin won its game by the same score.

Justin Jones allowed a run on five hits in seven innings for the Miracle.

Kyle Geiger went 3-5 with an RBI and two runs scored. The Miracle will finish the season up with two games at home over the weekend, starting tonight at 7:05.

Tonight's Fort Myers Miracle game at Hammond Stadium will double as a relief effort for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

A receptacle will be on-site for relief supplies, such as tarps, but food will not be accepted.

The Miracle also will donate $1 for each game ticket sold to the American Red Cross.

Gates will open at 6 p.m. A fireworks show will follow the game.
