A Bradenton | Bradenton 8 Charlotte 0
The story of the day was once again in Bradenton as Gerrit Cole pitched six shut-out innings while striking out six batters. He allowed just one hit and one walk and looked dominant for really the first time this season. After he left the game Jason Townsend and Zach Foster finished off the shut off. Drew Maggi and Alex Dickerson had three hits a piece, and Dickerson drove in four runs. Dickerson is hitting just .256 this year but could be heating up as he starts to settle into it a bit. Altogether Bradenton had 12 hits and completely pounded the Jupiter Hammerheads.
