Lakeland wins Game 1 of the Florida State League championships

The Mud Hens got off to a good start the first two games of this series, but the Storm Chasers took it to them over the final four to win the series.

On Friday, Troy Watson gave the Hens a solid four inning start with one run allowed. The bullpen was victimized by sloppy play and the offense couldn’t string together a rally.

Ryan Vilade started the game off in style with a leadoff home run. Watson allowed a walk, a stolen base, and a single as the Storm Chasers scratched out a tying run.
