The Geese won the game beating the Gators 6-2.

The hitting star of the game was Morgan Ensberg, who was 2-3 with a double, a walk, and 3 runs scored. The Yankees committed 7 errors in the game (Brett Gardner, Justin Christian, Chris Woodward, Cody Ransom, Nick Green, Eduardo Nunez and Marcos Vechionacci), so it was exactly what you would expect from the first game of spring training: Sloppy and pointless. At least nobody got hurt.

Tabata --- Melancon

Jeter and A-Rod
