Clearwater Threshers News Release


CLEARWATER, FL - A pitcher's duel with a combined seven hits between the two teams ended with a victory for the Clearwater Threshers (64-50, 28-20), as they took down the Jupiter Hammerheads (52-64, 22-28) 2-1 on Wednesday night at BayCare Ballpark. The Threshers look to start a win streak when they return home for a Thursday battle with the Hammerheads.

Robert Phelps was hit by the first pitch thrown in the bottom of the third inning after the first two innings ended without a run scored. Phelps stole second base and moved to third on an errant throw by Jupiter's catcher, Carlos Sanchez. He scored on a wild pitch from Michael Perez before the first out of the frame. Dante Nori then drew a walk and stole second base. Jupiter's second baseman couldn't make the catch on the throw down to second, allowing Nori to advance to third base safely. After the first out of the frame, Nathan Humphreys hit a fly ball to center field, and Nori came home to score on the sacrifice fly, making it 2-0 Threshers after the first three frames.

Jupiter picked up their first run on a bases loaded walk in the top of the sixth inning to cut the Threshers' lead in half. The Hammerheads failed to put a runner in scoring position after their only run in the sixth, and the Threshers closed out the win with a 2-1 victory.

Ramón Márquez (2-0) struck out seven batters in 5.0 shutout frames with one hit allowed to earn the win. Marty Gair walked two batters and allowed one hit and one run before exiting the sixth inning early. Adilson Peralta allowed two hits and a walk in 3.0 innings without allowing an earned run, striking out three batters. Danyony Pulido earned the save in a 1-2-3 ninth inning with one strikeout.
