Behind Cabrera's 13 K, Hammerheads break losing streak with 1-0 win

After eleven tough games, the Hammerheads finally found their way back to a W with a 1-0 win against the Bradenton Marauders Wednesday evening.
Going into the game, the Hammerheads were coming off three straight sweeps and eleven straight losses, while the Marauders were tied for the top spot of the Florida State League leaderboard. Defying expectations, the Hammerheads shutout the Marauders in a tight 1-0 win to break the streak.
A massive part of that victory was thanks to Miami Marlins #8 prospect Edward Cabrera. The right-hander threw a gem for the Hammerheads in his fourth start of the season.  
He tied the Jupiter record for strikeouts in a game with thirteen K over 6 2/3 scoreless innings. Besides that, the starter didn't walk a single batter and allowed just two hits during his outing. He attacked the strike zone, throwing 62 strikes in 88 total pitches. His pitches stumped the tough Bradenton lineup all night. Of his thirteen strikeouts, nine batters struck out swinging. His performance on the mound advanced his record to 2-0 for the season. 
Offensively, the Hammerheads were able to convert their five hits into the one run it took to beat the Marauders. That one run came in the fifth off a single from Connor Grant that would eventually be batted in by a Jose Devers later in the inning.
Alex Mateo closed out the game for the Hammerheads. With five strikeouts he finished off the shutout and earned the save for the night.
The Hammerheads will go for the series win tomorrow night at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium at 6:30pm. For tickets, go to jupiterhammerheads.com/tickets.
