Bottom of the 10th

Manatee County's own Casey Fossum comes out to try and lock this one up.

He may wear No. 81, but according to the radar-gun readings in the outfield, Fossum sure doesn't throw 81.

One pitch crawls in at 73. Another at 74. One doesn't even get a reading. When Fossum does hit 84, the ball looks like a missile.

Maybe that's his plan.

Or maybe not - Freddy Guzman laces a two-strike, two-out, three-run home run, and the Tigers win 9-7 in dramatic - well, dramatic for the spring - fashion.

It's been a long day of baseball. But a good one. From gorgeous Joker Marchant Stadium, this is John Lembo, signing off.
