Roger is taken deep
By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff
TAMPA - Fort Myers Miracle first baseman Erik Lis has just taken Roger Clemens deep for a solo homer with two out in the first inning.
Lis battled Clemens to 2-2 and fouled off three pitches before sending a fastball over the right field fence.
Oddly, in Clemens' first minor league start for Lexington last season he also allowed a home run to the third batter in the first inning - Johnny Drennen.
Clemens then retired Malden's Juan Portes on a ground ball out to second on the first pitch. Clemens threw 18 pitches.
