The Winter Garden Squeeze defeated the DeLand Suns 11-10 Monday, July 10, on the first game of what it was supposed to be a double-header. However, the second game of the day was canceled because of rain. 

The Squeeze took the lead early, scoring four runs in the bottom of the second. Right-fielder Matthew Prevesk brought in the fist two runs of the game after hitting a liner past second base, allowing extra hitter Santino Rao and first baseman Tyler Dowdy to reach home. Brandon Fields and Prevesk scored the last two runs of the inning. 

The Squeeze widened the lead in the bottom of the third, when shortstop Todd Clay scored to increase the lead to 5-0. 

However, the DeLand Suns managed to take a brief lead during the game in the top of the fifth inning by reaching home six times. Clay tied the game at the bottom of the fifth after scoring once. 

The game — initially planned for seven innings — went to extra innings tied at 6.

Despite the DeLand Suns putting up four runs to take the lead 10-6 in the top of the eight, the Winter Garden Squeeze reached home five times in the bottom of the inning to claim the win.
