Miami Dade wins game 2 against the Manatees

The Miami Dade Sharks baseball team won the second game of their doubleheader against the State College of Florida Manatees 8-7 on Saturday afternoon. The Sharks move to 14-14 on the year.

The Manatees responded in the bottom of the second inning, taking a 3-2 lead but Miami Dade recovered the lead after a double from D'Angelo Ortiz and an RBI single from Thomas White.

Things would take a turn when the Almonte would hit a two run shot to right field to put the Manatees back in the lead. The Sharks would retain the lead in the top of the fifth inning after a Garcia reached on a fielder's choice and White, Zamora and Rodriguez each drove in runs. 

Miami Dade would ultimately win the game 8-7 and hold off the last second push from State College of Florida.
