| Even with the afternoon pool party at Coach Kane’s, the Marlins kept their eye-on-the ball in this battle versus a well-coached and spirited group of Cardinals. After Smart scored on a single by Jellison, Franklin ripped another single. Big Colin “The Colinator” Palmer stepped in with another to-the-fence HR to clear the bases. It was Colin’s 3 HR in his last 4 at bats. Some fancy footwork by Jake Jellison added a run in the 3rd. But those stingy Cardinals came back with 3 runs in the bottom half. Then in the 5th, as the game got tense, Ben Kahrs knocked a single. Declan Moore cracked another single into the outfield. Then Jake Jellison hammered another single to score Ben and collect his 3rd RBI of the day.
It was a tough battle, but the Marlins have a lot of heart and a never-say-die attitude which was just enough to sneak in for the W. The team was rewarded with some fun in the sun and some serious backyard waffle ball at the Kane’s where Jeff Heisler dominated the diamond.

A defensive gem was turned in by the first place Marlins. Great plays left and right frustrated the Red Sox hitters, who did a fantastic job putting the ball into play. Greg Smart was a Jeter look-a-like and Colin Palmer, Curran Paulsen and Kevin Kane also looked steady in the field in a near errorless effort!
Stellar pitching by Greg Smart, Kevin Kane, and Nicholas Franklin kept the Red Sox hitters off-balance and the Marlins jumped ahead in the 3rd inning without looking back. The Marlins also did their fair share of hitting with Palmer getting a key triple to break open a big 4th inning. |
