The Hammerheads (33-36) lost their second in a row, by an 8-1 score to the Palm Beach Cardinals in front of a partisan crowd of 626 at Roger Dean Stadium.

James Buckelew (0-1, 2.25) pitched serviceably, allowing one earned run over four innings and earning a 50 GameScore. Jorgan Cavanerio and Ben Holmes collectively allowed six runs on eight hits in two innings to let the Cards put the game firmly out of reach.

Single-A

South Atlantic League

Greensboro Grasshoppers 5, Hagerstown Suns 1

The Hagerstown Suns (38-32) hosted the Grasshoppers (38-31) and 1,277 fans at Municipal Stadium, and watched their home team drop a 5-1 affair to Greensboro.

Michael King (5-4, 3.58) started and won for the Hoppers, throwing five scoreless innings and allowing four hits and a walk, striking out three. Chad Smith and Marcus Crescentini each struck out a pair in one inning of perfect work.

Colby Lusignan (8) hit a three run jab over the center field wall to open scoring in the top of the fourth inning, and it was all the offense that Greensboro ended up needing. The Suns broke through in the seventh, but the rally died on the vine after Hagerstown scored just once on a Telmito Agustin RBI-single.

James Nelson hit an RBI-single, and Lusignan added another RBI on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning.

Short-A

New York-Penn League

Batavia Muckdogs 1, State College Spikes 9

With 3,194 in attendance at “Medlar Field at Lubrano Park,” the State College Spikes (2-2) put an end to hopes of a 78-0 record for the Muckdogs (3-1).

Four Muckdogs pitchers combined to allow 19 baserunners in eight innings pitched, giving up nine runs on 15 hits, three walks, and a hit-batsman.

Not quite the offensive display to which Batavia has accustomed themselves with over the first three games, the Muckdogs watched their overall seasonal batting average drop from .369 to .336. Jhonny Santos was the only player to finish with two hits, and lowered his average to .583 by going seven-for-12 over his first three appearances.

Three more days.

Rookie

Dominican Summer League

DSL Marlins 4, DSL Royals 3

Eliezer Rodriguez started for the Marlins (9-6) and allowed just a hit and a walk while striking out five in four innings for no-decision against the Royals (9-6). It was the Marlins fifth win in a row. Jesus Sanchez (2-0, 3.18) earned the win, allowing one earned run in three innings, allowing four hits and two walks. Elkin Alcala was far from perfect, but picked up his second save of the season after allowing two runs.

The score was tied at zero going to the bottom of the sixth, when the Marlins scored three runs on a Wiklerman Rasquin sacrifice fly and a Miguel Pena two-RBI single. The Royals got on the board in the next frame on a Warning Vicente RBI-double, and the Marlins answered with one in the eighth, on a Juan Urena RBI-double.

Like I said, Alcala was a mess, hitting a batter and allowing an RBI-single (there was also a runner on base from a Juan Urena error) to put runners on the corners in the ninth inning before recording his first out. He then induced two ground outs and a whiff to end the contest.

Daniel Paulino and Juan Urena had two hits each for the Marlins, while Danyeli Espinal (1) and Joseph Gilma (5) each stole a base.
