PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (August 25, 2019) - The Jupiter Hammerheads completed a three-game sweep of the St. Lucie Mets with an 8-3 victory in the series finale at First Data Field on Sunday.
The Mets held a slim 3-2 lead with two outs in the top of the seventh, but Jupiter's JJ Bleday tied the game with a RBI single.
Jupiter scored two in the eighth and added three in the ninth for good measure.
The Mets scored three runs in a game for the first time since they beat Fort Myers 7-4 in a doubleheader game 1 on August 13. All three runs came in the fourth inning as the team batted around.

However, the Mets bullpen could not hold the lead. Three relievers combined to give up six runs on nine hits and four walks in four innings.

Kale Leach pitched the final two innings scoreless in his FSL debut to get the save.
Tiberi went 2 for 4. The double was his team-best 29th of the season.
The Mets lost their 11th straight game. They will try to avoid matching the longest losing skid in franchise history (12) when they travel to Daytona to take on the Tortugas on Monday. First pitch at Jackie Robinson Ballpark is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
