Mark Canha, 1B: 2-for-4, 2B, HR (12), RBI
Justin Nicolino, SP: 7 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
Justin Nicolino was fantastic in seven scoreless innings but his bullpen couldn't hand on to their one-run lead after Nicolino left the game. Mark Canha had a double and hit his 12th homer of the year, which is twice as many as he hit in Jupiter last year. Jacksonville is now 68-58 on the season.

Jupiter lost a crucial game to Bradenton on Wednesday night with the Hammerheads playoff chances seeming farther and farther off with only ten or so games left in their season. Jose Urena had a rough night on the mound, struggling to keep Stetson Allie and the Bradenton hitters off of the basepaths. Brent Keys and Yordy Cabrera both had solid days at the plate but Jupiter failed to have an inning where they scored more than one run.

Nelson Zuleuta, SP: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
