By Emmitt Davis

The Daytona Tortugas closed out their home-stand series against the Bradenton Marauders with three straight wins! The team, who is currently in second in the Low A Southeast East Division, just four games behind the Saint Lucie Mets, play against the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels this upcoming week in hopes to snap that big lead Saint Lucie has into a smaller one before they play them the following week. The impact player of the game was Allan Cerda, who had a two-run home run to open up the scoring fest for the Tortugas in the bottom of the second. Cerda had two hits for a total of three Rbi's to extend the lead for the Tortugas. Daytona finished the game-winning 8-4 right before the thunderstorm clouds came into The Jack. Daytona starts there six-game away series in Fort Myers July 20th at 6:35pm
