JUPITER, Fla. - Brian O'Keefe's two-run walk-off double in the bottom of the 10th led the Palm Beach Cardinals to a 2-1 win over the Charlotte Stone Crabs at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium Friday.
Stone Crabs (1-1, 35-34) left-hander Kenny Rosenberg struck out a career-high 10 batters over six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit. Starter Zack Mozingo went three shutout frames as both teams failed to score over the first nine.
In a scoreless game in the top of the tenth, Jermaine Palacios bunted automatic runner Tristan Gray to third before Zac Law drove him in with a line-drive single to left. After a walk moved Law to second, Jake Fraley singled to right with two outs. However, Cardinals (1-1, 40-26) right fielder Johan Mieses threw out Law at the plate to keep the score at 1-0.
In the bottom of the inning, Palm Beach pinch hitter Shane Billings immediately singled against Ivan Pelaez (2-2) to move the automatic runner to third. The next batter was O'Keefe, who split the right field gap to win the game for Palm Beach.
Fraley was the only Stone Crabs hitter to reach base three times, going 2-for-4 with a walk.
