FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.- The Palm Beach Atlantic baseball team won its midweek game against the Nova Southeastern Sharks thanks to a nine-run outburst from the Sailfish offense. 

Elijah Budiac got the start for PBA and had his best appearance of the season. Budiac got through six full innings while only allowing three hits and no runs with four strikeouts and zero walks on 73 pitches. Zachary Orloff got through one inning and gave up four walks and one hit by pitch for two earned runs. Orloff did not surrender any hits on 45 pitches. Liam Martin finished things off for the Sailfish on the mound with two full innings of work with no hits, no runs and no walks on only 19 pitches. 

The Sailfish started off hot with Chris Amparo blasting a home run to left field that knocked in Matthew Faranda. Things calmed down for a while, but Matthew Faranda added a solo homer himself in the fifth inning. In a big seventh inning, Trey Miranda started it off for PBA by scoring on a wild pitch. Patrick Rakes and Jake McNamara added RBI walks to take a 6-0 lead. Aaron Vetter tacked on an RBI double to clear the bases and give the Sailfish a commanding, 9-0 lead. Nova added a run in each of the seventh and eighth innings, but it was too little too late and the Sailfish came home with the 9-2 victory.  

The Sailfish return to the diamond for the final series of the regular season when they take a road trip to Rollins starting at 3:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
