Miracle sputter against Daytona

By Daily News staff

The Fort Myers Miracle got a glimpse of what it would be like to play without two of their first round draft picks — Matt Moses and Denard Span — as the offense struggled without them and the Miracle lost to the Daytona Cubs 9-2 at Jackie Robinson Ballpark on Wednesday night.

Moses and Span were given the night off and with them went the clutch hitting as the Miracle left 10 men on base.

The Cubs exploded for four runs in the fourth on two singles, one double, one walk and three Miracle errors.

The Miracle now head home for a four-game series against the Jupiter Hammerheads beginning tonight at 7:05 p.m. The Miracle send righty Adam Harben (2-3, 3.82) to the hill against the Hammerheads' James Russ (4-0, 3.69). The game can be heard on Sports Radio 770 ESPN.
