Dolphins Pick Up 7-5 Win Against Cleveland
Despite a great performance by Cleveland third baseman Nate Garcia, the Miami Dolphins defeated the Browns by the score of 7-5 at Pro Player Stadium. Garcia went 2-4 with 2 home runs. Joe Glick, the winning pitcher, is now 3-3. He went 5 innings, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 0. The Dolphins raised their record to 18-9.

Joel McCormick had a big 2-run double for the Dolphins in the bottom of the first inning. With Miami leading 2-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Mark Almes and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 4th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Dolphins ahead, 4-1.

"We've got a great group of guys," McCormick said, "and we're having fun right now."
