Kumquats Suffer 4-2 Loss to Hurricanes
Though he had a great game, Steve Varble could not single-handedly produce a win for Kissimmee. Daytona Beach won the game, 4-2. Varble was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Ramón Villabos earned the save for Daytona Beach, his 8th of the year. Daytona Beach is now 31-39, Kissimmee 32-38.

The Hurricanes got a big at-bat from catcher Nick Rockey. For the game, Rockey was 2-3 with a double and was hit by a pitch, while adding 2 RBI. In the bottom of the third, with the bases loaded, he stroked a 2-run double. His 9th double of the season gave Daytona Beach a 2-0 lead.

Rockey called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."
