Bradenton Marauders 5 @ Jupiter Hammerheads 1
The Hammerheads fell behind early today, as Ben Holmes gave up three runs in the third and another run in the fourth. Holmes lasted on 3 2/3 tonight. Travis Ballew came out of the pen and struggled mightily with control, going only 2/3 of an inning while walking six batters.
Things settled down as the next three relievers threw 4 2/3 of scoreless ball to keep the game close, but the game was already out of reach. A single by Brian Schales accounted for Jupiter’s only run.
