JUPITER, FL – After falling into an early deficit, the Jupiter Hammerheads (59-54, 23-25) could not recover for the second consecutive night as they fell by a final score of 7-1 to the Daytona Tortugas (57-56, 26-21) on Wednesday night at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. With two losses to begin the series, the Hammerheads are now three and a half games back of Daytona for second place in the FSL
Daytona picked up where it left off and scored the first run in the top of the first inning off of Hammerheads’ starting pitcher Eliazar Dishmey. Yerlin Confidan led off the frame with a single and eventually advanced to third base thanks to a steal and a fielding error by JT Mabry. With Sammy Stafura stealing second base, Confidan came into score on a throwing error from Victor Ortega and Daytona took the early 1-0 lead.
The Tortugas strung together four hits resulting in three runs against Dishmey in the top of the third inning to extend Daytona’s lead to 4-0. Later, in the top of the fourth inning, Dishmey allowed a two-out walk to Stafura and was pulled after 3 2/3 innings pitched. Gabe Bierman was the first man out of the Jupiter bullpen and Ariel Almonte greeted him with a two-run home run to right field which gave the Tortugas a 6-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Daytona starting pitcher Graham Osman tossed four scoreless innings and allowed just two hits. The Tortugas added one more run in the top of the seventh inning as Ricardo Cabrera eventually scored on a wild pitch to give Daytona a 7-0 lead.
The Hammerheads avoided the shutout in the bottom of the ninth inning. With two runners on base and two outs, Mabry hit a bloop RBI single to right field to score Michael Snyder and make it a 7-1 deficit. However, the scoring for Jupiter ended there as the 7-1 final score held with Jupiter losing the first two games of the series.
Jupiter has been outscored 19-2 and also has committed nine errors through the first two games of the series. The Hammerheads still lead the regular season series 12-8.
