Jupiter Hammerheads 5, Daytona Tortugas 3

With 2,032 on hand at Jackie Robinson Ballpark, the Hammerheads used an extra inning to top the Tortugas.

Trevor Rogers was impressive again despite earning no-decision. He put 66-of-98 in the strike zone and struck out six over seven innings. He allowed two unearned runs on six hits and zero walks. Colton Hock (3-3, 3.76) earned the win, striking out three and giving up one run in the ninth. Jeff Lindgren was credited with his first save after a scoreless, hitless, walk-less inning (he did issue a free pass the painful way, with an HBP).

Offensively, the Hammerheads collected 13 hits, including three singles from Jhonny Santos. Jerar Encarnacion and Angel Reyes also finished with multiple hits.

Encarnacion started the scoring off with an RBI-single to score Santos in the third. The Tortugas took the lead with two in the sixth off Rogers, benefitted by a James Nelson throwing error. In the seventh, Tristan Pompey drove home Micah Brown with a ground rule double. Brown knocked Reyes home with a sac fly in the eighth.

After the Tortugas touched Hock for a run in the ninth, Brown drove Harrison Dinicola home with the eventual game-winner. Santos scored soon afterward with a little insurance on a Daytona wild pitch.
