The victory Bradenton earned its first series win of the season. They have won five of their last seven contests.

With the win, Bradenton moved to 10-14 while Tampa fell to 9-15. Bradenton travels to Clearwater on Friday to begin a three-game series with the Threshers. First pitch for game one is set for 6:30 p.m. tomorrow with coverage beginning at 6:15 on the Marauders Broadcast Network.
