Bradenton, Fla. - The Bradenton Marauders were limited to just four hits in their 4-1 loss to the Tampa Tarpons on Tuesday night at LECOM Park.
Tampa opened scoring in the bottom of the first when Roderick Arias roped an RBI single to right to make it 1-0.
After pushing across another in the top of the second, Brian Sanchez stepped to the plate in the top of the fifth, and blasted a two-run homer to right to increase Tampa's lead to 4-0.
Marauders right hander Matt Ager provided a solid start, tossing four innings of two-run ball, matching a career-high for the second consecutive outing.
Tarpons starter Andrew Landry was stellar, firing six shutout frames while fanning four hitters. He didn't allow a hit until the sixth inning.
