Mitchell Tolman hit a run-scoring single during a two-run fifth inning, leading the Bradenton Marauders to a 3-1 win over the Jupiter Hammerheads in Florida State League action in Jupiter on Tuesday.

The single by Tolman broke a scoreless tie. Logan Hill scored the second run as a runner was picked off later in the inning.

Bradenton added a run in the sixth on a single by Will Craig, before the Hammerheads broke up the shutout bid when Stone Garrett scored on a forceout. Garrett struck out with the bases loaded to end the seventh inning, the last big threat by Jupiter.

Six Marauders had a hit; Christian Kelley’s double was the only Bradenton extra-base hit.
