JUPITER, FL- The Palm Beach Cardinals were on the right side of Thursday's rubber match against the St. Lucie Mets, winning 7-4 at Roger Dean Stadium.
Mets starter Domingo Tapia struggled tonight to say the least. Giving up a leadoff triple to CF James
Ramsey, followed by back-to-back walks. Then proceeded to throw two wild pitches and walk another
pair of batters before he was pulled with two outs in the first inning, all while collecting three earned
runs.

St. Lucie would make it interesting in the third as they capitalized on three walks while placing a pair of
timely hits, bringing the score to 2-3 entering the fourth. Despite scoring two more in the seventh, that
was the closest the Mets would get, ultimately falling 7-4 in their second straight loss to the redbirds.

Palm Beach Starter Sam Gaviglio demonstrated great composure after hitting rough waters in the third
when he walked the first three batters. The right-hander was able to settle down and escape the inning
with minimal damage, courtesy of two ground-ball outs and a strikeout. Gaviglio got through six innings,
giving up 3H, 2ER, 4BB and fanned six St. Lucie batters as he moves to 2-0 on the season.
