Well people...I don't need to say anymore than I have been at the ballpark late tonight celebrating with the boys as they clinched a post season berth by downing the Lakeland Flying Tigers in both halves of a double header.

In the first game Andrew Carpenter added to his record total by picking up a 17th win on the year holding the opposition to one run on one hit as the team cruised to an 11-1 win in the first game.

The second game would not be so easy as the team jumped out to a 4-0 lead only to be tied 4-4 going into the bottom of the fifth.

Matt Thayer proved to be the hero of the night, and of the year, as he singled to plate the game winning and championship winning runs in the bottom of the frame.

The Flying Tigers tried to make a game of it by closing the gap to 5-6 in the last inning, but the Threshers reigned supreme in the end.

Threshers and Yankees Split Double Header

Yankees Grab Game #1 Despite Fewer Hits

123456 7RHE
Yankees 1 0 1 0 0 2 0 4 8 0
Threshers 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 9 1

Despite out hitting the Yankees 9-8 in the first game of today's double header the Threshers were downed 4-1 in the game.

Greg Golson kept his hitting streak alive at five games in the game with two hits including a double, and the team's only RBI, but it was not enough to will the team to victory.

In the game Victor Hall, Brad Harman, and Matt Thayer each picked up two hits with Thayer adding a walk to his on base total, while Clay Harris had a hit and a walk as well, but stranded runners (8) were the tale of the game.

Josh Outman was credited with his first loss of the year giving up 4 runs on 7 hits, while Mike Zagurski maintained his 0.00 ERA out of the bullpen giving up just one hit with 5 Ks in 2.0 innings for the team.

The second game of today's double header was a pitchers duel with only 7 hits between both teams, but a solo home run by Clay Harris in the 5th inning would prove to be the game winner as the Threshers downed the Yankees 1-0 in the game.

Mike Spidale and Fidel Hernandez each added one hit apiece for the Threshers while Derek Griffith was credited with the win for the team. The game's starter Zac Stott pitched 3 hitless innings and Charlie Weatherby was credited with his first save as he went the last two innings for the team.
