PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (May 30, 2018) – The Jupiter Hammerheads cruised to a 7-1 victory over the St. Lucie Mets on Wednesday at First Data Field.
The Hammerheads opened up a lead just two batters into the game on a RBI single by Joe Dunand. Stone Garrett would make it 2-0 with a two-out RBI single later in the frame.
Jupiter made it 4-0 with a pair of runs in the second inning. Aaron Knapp ripped a RBI triple and Brian Miller brought home Knapp with a single.
Mets starter Gary Cornish would settle down and make it through 5.1 innings. He scattered eight hits, allowed four runs, walked two and struck out three.
Jupiter starter Daniel Castano blanked the Mets over six innings. He gave up four singles and needed just 65 pitches to navigate his six innings of work. He earned the win.
The Hammerheads scored three runs in the eighth to go up 7-0. The Mets avoided a shutout when Jupiter second baseman Riley Mahan sailed a throw over first base on a double play attempt that would have ended the eighth inning. Andres Gimenez was awarded home when the ball went out of play.
J.J. Franco collected two of the five hits for the Mets.
