Bradenton Marauders News Release
Bradenton, Fla. - Dominant pitching and timely hitting sunk the Bradenton Marauders as the St. Lucie Mets pushed past them 5-2 at LECOM Park on Friday night.
Major League Rehabber Johan Oviedo was strong, tossing 2.2 innings of one-run ball while punching out five hitters. St. Lucie tacked on their only run against them when Jeremy Rodriguez lined a two-out RBI single to right.
With the Mets still leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Vincent Perozo launched a solo shot to right center that doubled the lead to 2-0. They added on another on an error that extended the lead to 3-0.
In the bottom of the sixth, Bradenton rallied when Yordany De Los Santos walked and stole second for his 35th swipe of the year, setting a career high. With two down, Ethan Lege rolled an RBI double to left that cut the deficit to 3-1.
After St. Lucie added on one more in each of the seventh and eighth innings, Bradenton threatened again in the bottom of the eighth.
Trailing 5-1, Wyatt Sanford led off with a double to left and De Los Santos followed with a single to left. With runners at the corners, Edward Florentino sliced a double to left that scored Sanford. Despite the late threat, the Marauders fell short, capping scoring at 5-2.
