Bradenton Marauders News Release
Bradenton, Fla. - The Marauders (10-5), better known as the Barbanegras on Sunday afternoon, met the Daytona Tortugas (6-9) to close out their six-game series. Bradenton would bounce back strongly from Saturday's defeat and put on a show in every facet of the game on the way to a 9-1 victory.
The Barbanegras led 1-0 after the first inning thanks to a Javier Rivas RBI single to make it three straight games with a man batted in for the Bradenton middle infielder. J.P. Massey made his second start of the season for Bradenton and dealt five innings scoreless while punching out seven to set a new career high for the Chicago native.
The Barbanegras grabbed two more runs in the third off RBI knocks from Alexander Mojica and Jauri Custodio to make it 3-0 after three innings of play. Massey's day on the mound ended in the fifth after a nearly 20-minute half-inning from Bradenton, where the home team posted a four spot.
Termarr Johnson picked up a two-RBI knock in the inning to spark the offense, but the real highlight of the inning was when Deivis Nadal took off on a straight steal of home that did not even draw a throw to the plate.
