PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (May 15, 2026) – The Jupiter Hammerheads rallied for three runs in the eighth inning and beat the St. Lucie Mets for a fourth straight game, 9-7, on Friday night at Clover Park. The Hammerheads have won 10 of their last 11 while the Mets lost for the eighth time in nine games.

Jupiter scored three runs off Mets reliever Tyler McLoughlin in the eighth inning to go ahead. A walk and two soft singles loaded the bases. Vargas hit an infield single to make it 7-6. Emilio Barreras then clubbed a two-run double for an 8-7 lead.
The Mets drew two walks in the home eighth but Ramon Sanchez came in from the Jupiter bullpen and struck out JT Benson and got Julio Zayas to ground out.
Victor Ortega hit a two-out solo homer in the top of the ninth for an insurance run that made it 9-7.
Sam Robertson drew a one-out walk in the bottom of the ninth to bring the tying run to the plate. Sanchez struck out Kevin Villavicencio and Simon Juan to end the game.
