Stone Crabs Week in Review: May 13- May 19

The Stone Crabs continued to struggle on their road trip and finished the week 3-5. The Crabs fell to one game above .500 at 20-19 and are currently in third place of the South Division, 2 games back. Most of the games of the week were against Northern Division opponents, in which the Stone Crabs are now 3-5 against them after facing Lakeland on the road and Tampa at home. They will face Brevard County this week, hopefully they can improve their records against clubs from the other division. The will also look to gain on first place as they play a three game series against the division leading Cardinals. Stephen Vogt extended his hitting streak to a franchise record 15 games. Matt Joyce also joined the team on a major league rehab assignment.
