Flying Tigers Fall 3-0 to Palm Beach

In one of the quickest games of the season, the Flying Tigers fell to the Palm Beach Cardinals 3-0 in the opener of a three-game series. Lasting just one hour and 47 minutes, the loss ended the Flying Tigers five game win streak, their longest of the season.

Cardinals starting pitcher Austin Warner blanked the Flying Tigers for his first career shutout. After giving up a leadoff triple to Daz Cameron to start the game, Warner held the Flying Tigers in check for the remainder of the game, allowing just 3 hits and one walk while fanning ten. Warner's 51 strikeouts on the year leads the Florida State League.
Outfielder Dylan Carlson provided the bulk of the offense for the Cardinals, driving in two runs with singles in the fourth and sixth inning. Third baseman Danny Hudzina capped off the scoring with his second home run of the season off reliever Alfred Gutierrez. Starter Gregory Soto (1-1) lost his first game of the season, despite striking out a season-tying seven batters.
Up Next: The Flying Tigers host the Cardinals for game two of the series Tuesday night. Left hander Austin Sodders (2-2, 4.10 ERA) is slated to take the hill against Ian Oxnevad (3-3, 3.76 ERA) at 6:30 p.m. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. This is Sodders first appearance since carrying a no-hit bid into the 8^th inning against the St Lucie Mets on May 12.
