JUPITER, FL - Colin Moran's bloop single to center field with two outs in the ninth inning was the only hit the Hammerheads managed all night as they lost to Palm Beach 9-0 on Tuesday.

In the next frame the Birds would put the game out of reach when they put up a seven spot. David Washington would start the scoring after two men had reached when he pulled a single into right.

After a fly out Conley threw a pitch in the dirt that got by the catcher and allowed Anthony Garcia to score with the fourth Palm Beach run. Conley would then walk Tilson and was pulled from the game.

Blake Logan would get a groundout for the second out of the inning before he allowed RBI singles to Valera and Voit to make it 6-0.

The Cardinals would continue the offensive attack when Alex Mejia hit a two-run double into the gap in left-center. Nick Martini would cap the scoring when he plated Mejia with a single up the middle.
