Sea Turtles Rack Up 10-5 Win Versus Detroit
The Daytona Beach Sea Turtles beat the Detroit Giants, 10-5, at Ballpark of Detroit. Daytona Beach center fielder Aaron Rakers led the way. He was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Mal Burkes got the win, improving to 3-2. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 5. With this game in the books, Daytona Beach is 15-27, Detroit 25-17.

With Daytona Beach leading 1-0 in the top of the first, Rakers hit a 2-run single off Detroit hurler Mike Wroten. It was the 11th hit of the season for Rakers and put his team ahead, 3-0.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Rakers told the Daytona Beach News. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
