The atmosphere in the Yankees clubhouse was cool, calm, and collected on Sunday afternoon as they prepared for the middle game in their three game series against the Lakeland Flying Tigers. The Yankees took game one of the series as they scored three runs in the ninth to come away with a 5-2 victory. Currently sitting in fifth place in the division, the defending two time league champs are hoping to make a midseason surge to return to the playoffs as they look to defeat the Tigers for the second time in as many days. Manager Luis Sojo stressed that the current focus is to get his team back to .500 as they sit at 27-29. If the Yankees can sweep the series, it will put them at their current goal as they head into their next a series with the second place Clearwater Thrashers who are four games behind the league leading Daytona Cubs. With over two months left in the season, the Yankees are in position to bring home a third division title.
