Zach Green's 12th home run of the season was the difference-maker on Sunday, as the Clearwater Threshers earned an 8-5, rain-shortened win over the Fort Myers Miracle at Hammond Stadium.

The contest entered a delay after Clearwater had put a pair on in the top of the sixth. Just over an hour later, the game was made official, with the Threshers emerging victorious.

Clearwater (24-13) was down early after a LaMonte Wade two-run homer in the first, but the Threshers bounced back with a pair of their own in the second.

Green got it going with a double to right, and Cord Sandberg followed by pulling a double of his own to plate Green with Clearwater's first run. Malquin Canelo added a two-bagger to score Sandberg and knot the game up at two.

Fort Myers (19-18) jumped back in front in the home half. With two out, Tanner Witt singled home a run and Nick Gordon knocked him in with a double to make it 4-2 Miracle.

The Threshers again rallied back in the fourth.

Sandberg led off with a bunt single, and Canelo drew a walk. Austin Bossart then grounded a single to left to load the bases, and Carlos Tocci brought one in with a base hit to center. Josh Tobias added a sacrifice fly to bring the teams to a four-all tie.

An inning later, Green stepped in with two men on and launched a three-run shot to left to put the Threshers ahead for good. The long ball was Green's 12th of the season, boosting his career-high RBI total to 59.

Sandberg followed with his third hit of the day, and an out later Bossart brought him in by driving a deep double to left.

The Miracle got a run back off Will Morris (7-2) in the fifth to make it 8-5, and the Threshers put a pair on in the sixth before play was halted.

Clearwater will go for the sweep on Monday, when Elniery Garcia (9-2) takes the mound against Keaton Steele (4-9), with first pitch at 7:05 p.m.
