Big road W for @CokerU_Baseball against a 26-12 team in terms of regional bid purposes.
At present, the Cobras currently sit 8th in the Southeast Region in RPI, 3rd in SOS, and 10th in KPI.
A continued push to improve their record both in region and against teams above .500 can make their case for an at-large bid that much stronger.

B5- Roll it up, @FCSL_Lightning!
Leesburg goes 6-4-3 to erase a DeLand threat, and the Lightning move two outs closer to the Florida League title!
After five innings at Melching Field, the Lightning have a 3-0 lead!
The @FCSL_Lightning are one win away from a dynasty.
Leesburg moves within one win of their third championship in the last four years, knocking off the DeLand Suns 7-2 in Game 1 of the Florida League Championship Series!
Game 2 is Sunday night at Melching Field in DeLand!
B2- Speed kills for the @FCSL_Lightning.
After scoring one on an RBI groundout, @Gabe0520 (@CokerU_Baseball) steals third and heads to the plate on an errant throw!
The Lightning offense is dialed in early, as Leesburg leads 6-2 after two innings!
There's just something about Pat Thomas Stadium in late July.
Down to their final two outs, the @FCSL_Lightning tie the game in the bottom of the ninth, then WALK IT OFF in the tenth on an RBI single from @BlazerNationBB's @_lamaquina25!
It's Leesburg-DeLand for the title!
B4- The @FCSL_Lightning have an answer!
After scoring a run on a pair of Sanford errors, @Gabe0520 (@CokerU_Baseball) lines a single back up the middle, cutting Sanford's lead to 4-3 after four innings of play!
Only five teams in Florida League history have ever lost Game 1, then rallied to win the series.
The @FCSL_Lightning have a chance to be the sixth.
Leesburg scores six in the first and never looks back in a 22-3 win over Sanford!
Game 3 is Thursday at The Pat!
