Marauders put up 20 runs in fifth straight win

Cole Tucker hit two home runs and drove in seven, as the Bradenton Marauders defeated the Palm Beach Cardinals 20-2 on Friday for their fifth straight victory.

Tucker hit a two-run shot in the sixth inning off Anthony Ciavarella and then hit a solo homer in the eighth off Leobaldo Pina. Tucker also had a three-run double in Bradenton’s eight-run fourth inning and an RBI triple in the seventh.

Logan Hill homered and singled, driving home five runs and scoring twice the win.

Bradenton starter Logan Sendelbach (1-2) picked up the win after scattering five hits over five scoreless innings. Opposing starter Ryan Helsley (2-2) took the loss in the Florida State League game after a rough outing in which he allowed six runs and four hits over 3 1/3 innings.

Bradenton took advantage of some erratic Palm Beach pitching, drawing a season-high 14 walks in its victory.

Darren Seferina tripled, doubled and singled for the Cardinals.
