Daytona Tortugas News Release
JUPITER, Fla. - Due to consistent rainfall, Thursday evening's contest between the Daytona Tortugas and Jupiter Hammerheads has been postponed.
As a result, the rained-out affair will be played as a part of a doubleheader on Friday, July 9, with the first pitch slated for 4 p.m. Both ballgames will be seven innings in length with a roughly 30-minute break in between the contests.
Thursday's scheduled starters - Daytona's RHP José Franco (1-1, 7.52) and Jupiter's LHP Luis Palacios (0-1, 16.20) - are still expected to duel one another in the opening game on Friday.
RHP James Marinan (1-1, 4.91) - who hurled five no-hit innings in his previous start last weekend - is projected to take the hill for the Tortugas in game two. The Hammerheads anticipate handing the ball to RHP Yeremin Lara (3-0, 3.30) in the nightcap. Coverage on the Tortugas Radio Network will begin on the MiLB First Pitch app and www.daytonatortugas.com at 3:45 p.m. The first pitch is slated for 4 p.m.
Daytona will return home on Tuesday, July 13, to open up a six-game homestand against the Bradenton Marauders, Low-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It will be a Breast Cancer Awareness Night presented by Radiology Associates Imaging, as Daytona players and coaches will don special pink-tinted uniforms to mark the occasion. Silver Sluggers Night - the best club in baseball for fans 60-and-over - presented by Conviva Cares Solutions will also be a part of the festivities. Fans can get in on deals at the concession stand with $2.50 Michelob Ultra draft beers.
Season tickets, multi-game plans, group packages, and single-game tickets are currently available and can be purchased online at www.daytonatortugas.com or by calling the Tortugas' Ticket Office at (386) 257-3172.
