St. Lucie 4, Tampa 3 in 15 innings

And we have a new record for longest game of the season. Dillon Gee started this one and went 6.1 innings, giving up 8 hits and 2 runs, but he was long gone when it was decided. German Marte (recently demoted) pitched 2 scoreless innings (14, 15) to pick up his first win.

The offense was pretty bad, managing just 11 hits, and striking out 18 times in 15 innings, but it doesn't matter when you win. JR Voyles was the only unfortunate 0-fer, he went 0 for 6, dropping his average 13 points to .231. Josh Thole also took an 0-fer, but his was a less...damaging 0 for 4 (average dropped 7 points to .258), he walked twice and drove in a run with a sac fly.
