JUPITER — The Marauders (9-3, 41-41) took sole possession of first place on Monday night by blanking Jupiter (4-8, 39-43) 3-0 at Roger Dean Stadium. RHP Frank Duncan (W, 5-4) faced one over the minimum while limiting Jupiter to two hits over seven innings and striking out five.

The Marauders opened the scoring in the third on an RBI-triple from SS JaCoby Jones off Jarlin Garcia (L, 2-5). Shortly after a 24 minute lightning delay in the sixth, 2B Erich Weiss struck for a two-run homer to cap the scoring.

RHP Isaac Sanchez pitched a scoreless eighth inning. RHP Junior Lopez tossed a perfect ninth with two strikeouts to earn his first save. RF Harold Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double.
