Next up is Downtown Luke Brown from @WKUBaseball! Luke has been a lights out all season for us in the lead-off spot. He's batting .317 with 5 stolen bases and his speed in the outfield is just unfair. Keep it up Luke!
Back to our regularly scheduled program, Luke Brown (@lukebrown_4) from @WKUBaseball led us in runs this year, crossing the plate 37 times! Luke also led the league, scoring 8 more times than the second place run scorer, awesome job Luke!
NOT ONE, NOT TWO...okay it was two. @blackhammer22 blasts another 3-run homerun to give Leesburg a 9-2 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning #BoltsUp
Our next player comes from @Flagler_BSB where he was named the PBC Freshman of the Week twice in 2017. Leesburg, let's welcome 3B/2B @blackhammer22 ! #FCSL#PackThePat ⚾️ ⚡️
Another dominant reliever out of the bullpen and now Florida League All-Star, Dominic Jeancola from @ERAUBaseball! Dom has held opposing teams scoreless in 9 of his 10 appearances this season and has 19 Ks in just 12 innings of work. Great job Dom!
We promised he'd be back! Jay Prather (@Jay_prather4) from @OspreyBSB led the team with 48 hits this summer, which put him at second in the league as well. You the man Jay!
The fourth member of @OspreyBSB to make the 2018 All-Star team, it's Wes Weeks! Wes has 2 home runs and 14 RBIs on the season and his big arm in right field has come in handy all summer for us. Great job Wes!
Next up is Josh Shapiro from @HerdBaseball! Josh's 24 strikeouts are good for second in the league, and he's had TWO outings with 10 Ks so far this season. Way to go Josh!
Finished with the best record, so you know that means we tied for the most representatives on here! Congratulations Alejandro Figueredo, @GaBeRincones, and @Collin_Tee11 on the 1st Team! Tommy Siedl, @RobbieScott00, @Sam_Bennett_27, and Connor Gleeson made the 2nd Team! ⚡️

#BoltsUpForever
Tyler Van Dyke (@SSC_Baseball) ends his summer season with us on a great note! Tonight he pitched 6 innings, with 103 pitches total. He delivered 5 strikeouts and allowed no runs during his outing. Amazing! #BoltsUp ⚡️
GOODBYE BIG FLYYYYYY! Matt Wiseman (@matt_wiseman_00) makes his first HR of the year one to remember with a bomb over the left field fence. We're on the board!
Bottom 3rd

The Lightning make it six straight and post some season highs in the process! Tonight’s Players of the Game are @tanner8clark (@OspreyBSB) and @j_backy21 (@KingUBaseball)! #BoltsUp⚡️

Our final stats leader is Josh Shapiro from @HerdBaseball, who led the team and was top 5 in the league with a WHIP of 0.91! Josh also finished top 10 in the league with 33 strikeouts and has been a stud all season long 💪💪
Congratulations to Jarrett Backus (@j_backy21) of @KingUBaseball and the @FCSL_Lightning who is the winner of the Florida League Sportsmanship award.

One of our rocks out of the bullpen was our wins leader, Aaron Simple (@AaronSimp_2) from @Flagler_BSB! Aaron was 4-0 in the regular season this summer, which also put him at 2nd place in the league for wins. Great job Aaron!
Moving on to position players, Tanner Clark from @OspreyBSB has been a rock all year behind the plate at catcher. His .310 batting average would be good for 8th in the league if he qualified (not enough at-bats) and he's made stellar defensive plays all season! Way to go Tanner!
That first sweep of the season feeling 🧹🙌 The Lightning took the W over the Sanford River Rats with a score of 3-2!
Tomorrow we travel to West Orange High to play the Winter Garden Squeeze at 7:00 p.m! #BoltsUp ⚡️
Our next All-Star is Louis Davenport! Louis is the only pitcher in the @floridaleague that has yet to give up an earned run with over 10 innings pitched, can you say bullpen beast? Great job Louis!
