July 27, 2006: Hammered

Fleetwood never stood a chance. Port Richey hammered Fleetwood starting pitcher Mark Buehrle, knocking him out after 8 hits in just 1.2 innings.

With the score 6-1 in favor of the Everglades after 2 innings, Port Richey added 4 more runs throughout the game. Meanwhile, Port Richey ace Jose Contreras shut down Fleetwood's bats, giving up just a solo home run to Derrek Lee in 7 innings of work. Final score: Port Richey 10, Fleetwood 1.

With this defeat, Fleetwood had lost its first home series in over 2 months (May 17-19 versus Santa Barbara). Rube Foster hoped his team would regain its winning form during a four-game road trip to Port Richey.
