Aaron Slegers does well.  Lots of pitches in very few innings for Stephen Gonsalves.  Two big innings win it for Fort Myers.  Travis Blankenhorn delivers the game-winning hit for Cedar Rapids.  Solo home runs and an error win it for the E-Twins.  The GCL Twins steal a victory.  A rare loss for the DSL Twins.
