Miracle staff combine for three-hitter

Four Fort Myers Miracle pitchers combined on a three-hit 8-0 victory of the Brevard County Manatees on Saturday night in Melbourne.

Justin Olson, making his first professional start, was stellar. He went three innings, allowing one hit while walking one and striking out three.

Ricky Barrett then tossed four shutout innings, allowed just two hits while walking two and striking out six.

Marcus Moseley and Pat Neshek pitched the final two innings to hang onto the shutout.

The Miracle offense gave Olson four runs before he even stepped to the mound.

Danny Matienzo had an RBI double and Kaulana Kuhaulua singled in a run with the bases loaded. Garrett Guzman's fielder's choice scored the third run and Jesus Merchan's single scored the fourth run.

The Miracle tacked on two more in the fourth on a two-run triple with two outs by Jose Morales.
