MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Palm Beach Atlantic baseball won an extra-inning classic with Barry on Tuesday night, scoring two runs in the top of the tenth to win by a 4-2 final.  The Sailfish pull above .500 on the year with the win, as they take the season series with the Buccaneers and now sit 21-20 on the season. 

Barry got on the scoreboard first in the third inning, scoring an unearned run off Sailfish starter Christian Denton. Denton, making his first start of the season, twirled five innings of six-hit baseball on the day, allowing just the one run and striking out three batters. 

The Sailfish tied up the game in the fifth inning on a balk by the Barry pitching staff, and took a 2-1 lead as A.J. Puigcerver grounded out to second base, scoring Hakeem Rhodes who reached on a walk. 

Tyler Hawks entered the game in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and nobody out, and did a great job escaping the jam while allowing just one run to tie the game at two.  Hawks went on to throw 2.1 innings of shutout baseball in relief, striking out three batters along the way.

Mikhail Cazenave entered in relief of Hawks, and threw 1.2 innings of shutout ball, striking out a pair of hitters and allowing just one baserunner. 

The Sailfish bats came alive in the top of the tenth inning, as Ryan Johnson gave the Sailfish the lead with an RBI double to right field, and later scored an insurance run on a two-out RBI triple from Evan Dougherty. 

Joey Hennessey entered and fired a 1-2-3 tenth inning to pick up his third save of the season. 

Johnson, Dougherty, and Connor Rowland picked up two hits each on the day while Eddie Vicinanza had a perfect day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a walk.

The Sailfish will be back in action this weekend with a Sunshine State Conference three-game series with No. 2 Florida Southern.
