JUPITER, Fla. (September 1, 2018) - Three pitchers combined for a shutout in a 4-0 win for the St. Lucie Mets over the Jupiter Hammerheads on Saturday at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium.

Austin McGeorge pitched a scoreless ninth to wrap up the game.
The three Mets pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts and one walk.
The Mets scored the only run they needed in the second inning. Quinn Brodey singled, stole second and went to third on an error. Blake Tiberi then knocked Brodey in with a ground out.

Vasquez led off the eighth with his first triple. Tiberi drove Vasquez in with a double to make it 4-0.
