Special to The News-Press The Fort Myers Miracle took out the Dunedin Blue Jays 3-2 in 10 innings Thursday night in a Florida State League game at the Lee County Sports Complex. Fort Myers took three out of four from the FSL Western Division leaders. The Miracle got an unusual power surge to score their first two runs. In the third, Trent Oeltjen hit his second homer of the season — and second in as many days — to give the Miracle a 1-0 lead. The very next pitch to Felix Molina went over the right-field wall for his third homer of the season. Matt Yeatman had a no-hitter through the first 4.1 innings before giving up a triple to Miguel Negronh. Ryan Roberts followed with an RBI single to make it 2-1. Roberts tied the game with another RBI single in the seventh. Yeatman went seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits while walking three and striking out six. He threw 94 pitches, 60 for strikes. The Miracle turned the ball over to Levale Speigner, who tossed three hitless innings. He walked one and struck out four, including the side in the 10th. Kaulana Kuhaulua led off the bottom of the 10th with a single and Jesus Merchan walked. Trent Oeltjen tried to sacrifice, but Kuhaulua was forced at third. After Felix Molina walked, Danny Matienzo lined a single to right that scored Merchan for the victory.
