Vero Beach recorded a two point increase in its pavement condition index, marking the first time in almost 20 years the city's overall road conditions improved rather than declined. City engineer Danessa Chambers told the City Council that many of the city's roadways are now graded as fair condition, with the improvement coming after the city spent 64 percent of its road budget on pavement preservation last year.

Our guys in the blue and orange have been on the road battling the Bradenton Marauders for the past three days and so far we've picked up two wins 💪🏽

We took last night's game with a final score of 3-1.

    Branny De Oleo and Jamari Baylor were responsible for those runs as they both homered in the 2nd inning.

    Jose Chirinos had a wonderful outing. He held the squad down for 6 innings by striking out 9 and only allowing 3 hits. Talk to him nice! 😮‍💨

Congrats on the win, fellas! We'll be continuing this series for the next 3 days ⚾️ LGM!

    Sidenote: We are now 7-3 in our last 10 games 🙂‍↕️
