Sailfish Baseball Drops Finale Against Panthers

MELBOURNE, Fla. - The Palm Beach Atlantic baseball team wrapped up its season today as they were slated to play two games against the Florida Tech Panthers. The Sailfish dropped game one after a lengthy weather delay 8-7 and game two was canceled after the long delay.

The Sailfish once again turned to Christian Denton who was making the final start of his Sailfish career. The Sailfish hurler was cruising along through three innings of work allowing just two hits and holding the Panthers scoreless. The Sailfish offense broke through in the top of the third inning when Jake Roper and Robert Fabelo brought home Ramon Machado and Brandon Seltzer to give PBA the 2-0 lead. The 'Fish added two more in the fourth inning as they strung together four straight singles. Carlos Lara scored on a Landen Morrison single and Sean Houck scored on a Roper sacrifice fly.

It looked like PBA had all of the momentum in the game when a three-hour weather delay forced Denton's day to end. The game resumed in the bottom of the fourth with PBA up 4-0 but the Panthers greeted Drew Holweger roughly with seven runs. The Sailfish bats hit back immediately to tie the game 7-7 as Lara doubled to score Sebastian Salado. Lara and Houck would later scored on a Houck fielder's choice and a Morrison sacrifice fly. 

Jake Sciarrotta shut down the Panther bats for 2.2 innings limiting them to just one hit. The Panthers scored the decisive run in the bottom of the eighth as a two-out single and a throwing error advancing the runner to third was brought home off a single against PBA's Justin Lovell who was hit with the loss. The final eight Sailfish batters were retired in order as the Sailfish fell 8-7. 

The Sailfish outhit the Panthers 13-10 but left 10 runners on base. Morrison and Roper each drove in two runs while the Sailfish bottom of the order did the majority of the damage. The bottom three hitters of Alley, Lara, and Houck combined for eight hits and four runs. 

The Sailfish finish their season against an all-Sunshine State Conference schedule with a 10-16 record.
