By Daily News staff

The Tampa Yankees may have the best home record in the Florida State League, but they can't beat the Fort Myers Miracle at Legends Field.

Fort Myers beat the Yankees for the third time in four tries, winning 4-1 on Wednesday night.

Adam Harben threw five-plus innings and allowed one run on two hits while striking out seven to get the victory. Julio DePaula and Jannio Gutierrez combined to allow one hit the rest of the way. Gutierrez got his first save.

The Miracle scored in the second when Trent Oeltjen was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on Brock Peterson's RBI single.

Scott Whitrock added a two-run homer in the fifth, and the Miracle added a run on an error in the ninth.

The same two teams meet tonight at Legends Field.

The Miracle return home Tuesday night to take on the Clearwater Threshers at 7:05 p.m.
