Delvis Alegre (L, 0-1) would allow a double to Johnfrank Salazar and a single to Miguel Villarroel with one out before Kade Kretzschmar drove in the game's first run on a sacrifice fly to make it 1-0 in favor of Palm Beach. Later in the top of the eighth inning, the Cardinals loaded the bases and Justin Storm would be charged with a balk bringing home the last run of the ballgame. Cardinals relief pitcher Gustavo Rodriguez would throw three innings of shutout baseball to earn the save to shutout the Hammerheads 2-0.
For Meyer, he has thrown 10 scoreless innings in his last two starts.
With the Cardinals leading the series three games to two, Jupiter will look for a series split against Palm Beach in the series finale on Sunday, May 12th with first pitch scheduled for noon at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium.
