Baseball, Burgers, and Brews at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium Saturday night. On the baseball side of things, Charlotte jumped ahead 1-0 in the first inning with a sacrifice fly.
Starting pitcher, Sean Guenther, would leave the game after 3 1/3 innings of work with an unknown injury. He gave up three hits and one earned run while striking out two batters.

The Hammerheads would tie the game at 1-1 in the 4th inning off an error by the Stone Crabs scoring John Silviano.
In the 5th, Charlotte plated two runs to retake the lead, 3-1.
Jupiter had a threat brewing in the 8th inning with the bases loaded and zero outs, but managed to score just one run off a Joe Dunand fielder's choice, scoring Justin Twine to bring the Hammerheads within one run at 3-2.
In the bottom of the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Twine sent a ball deep to left and over the outfielders outstretched arms for a double to score Stone Garrett and tie the game at 3-3.
On the first pitch of Aaron Knapp's at-bat, a wild pitch to the back stop sent Roy Morales home for the game winning run.
The 4-3 victory helped Jupiter avoid being swept for the first time this season.
