Friday, June 5 – Cleats got their 2nd win of the season by defeating the Leon’s Brewers by a score of 3 to 0.  Mike Swoboda pitched a complete game shutout and picked up a 2 RBI single to seal the victory for Cleats.  A classic pitcher’s duel into the 5th inning, Cleats was able to open their initial lead when Swoboda drove in the 2nd and 3rd run.  In his pitching effort, Swoboda game up hits to the first two Brewers hitters, then proceeded to keep them hitless for the remainder of the game.

Thursday, June 4 – Cleats fell again in a 1 run ball game, losing 6 to 5 to the Champion Marlins.  Cleats finds itself only scoring once in the last 20 innings, but was able to have a 5 run inning to take a 1 run lead in the 4th inning.  Unfortunately, that lead did not hold up as Championed rallied in the bottom of the 6th with 2 runs.  Mike Callaway was in line for the win before handing the ball over to Mike Swoboda, who picked up the hard luck loss.  TJ Trevis finally broke out of his slump by getting 2 base hits.
