Late inning woes sink Brandenton

Entering the top of the 8th inning on Sunday afternoon the Low-A Bradenton Marauders held a 7-1 lead and appeard to be well on their way to victory. Well, after allowing 2 runs in the 8th inning and 8 in a dreadful 9th inning, the Marauders lost to the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels 11-7 to fall to 51-38 on the season.

Termarr Johnson continues to hit and get on base for the Marauders. Serving as the team's designated hitter, Johnson went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored. Josiah Sightler went 3-for-4 with his 6th home run of the season, a walk, two runs scored, and two RBI.

Third baseman Yordany De Los Santos also had a big game for the Marauders. De Los Santos went 3-for-4 with a double, his 1st Low-A home run, a walk, run scored, and three RBI. Catcher Geovanny Planchart also had multiple hits.

Wilber Dotel started for Bradenton and pitched well. In 5 innings pitched, he allowed a run on five hits, three walks, and four strikeouts. Luis Peralta struck out a pair in a scoreless 6th inning and Jorge Ramos pitched a scoreless 7th inning, before allowing 2 runs in the 8th.

Darvin Garcia started the 9th inning for Bradenton but was pulled after allowing all three batters he faced to reach base. Elijah Birdsong would get the three outs in the 9th, but not before allowing 5 runs on two hits, three walks, and a home run. This also led to Garcia being charged with 3 runs as the Marauders imploded.
