Palm Beach carried the momentum of Saturday’s late victory over the Fort Myers Miracle to an early 4-0 lead Sunday afternoon and cruised to a 10-3 victory at Hammond Stadium.

Miracle starter Michael Tarsi (1-2) lasted just five innings, allowing six runs (four earned) on eight hits in his second loss of the season.

The Cardinals scored early and often with 12 hits and scoring runs in five of the nine innings.

In the first, with two outs and the bases loaded, Xavier Scruggs’ two-RBI single plated the first two runs. Alex Castellanos followed with a two-run double to put the Cardinals up 4-0.

The Miracle (5-11) scored one run in the bottom of the first against Palm Beach starter Brian Broderick on a fielder’s choice groundout by Chris Herrmann, making it 4-1.

After the Cardinals (8-7) added single runs in the fourth and fifth, the Miracle picked up their second run on another fielder’s choice groundout, with Dan Rohlfing picking up the RBI to make it 6-2.

The Cardinals plated two runs in the seventh and eighth innings to go up 10-2 before the Miracle added their final run in the bottom of the eight. Drew Thompson capped off a 3-for-5 afternoon with a two-out RBI double. Thompson joins Yangervis Solarte, who had three hits yesterday, as the only players to record three-hit outings this season.

Brain Broderck (1-2) picked up his first win of the season in six innings of work. The Cardinals, who started the season 0-5, have won eight of their last 10, including all four matchups against the Miracle so far.

The Miracle finished with 11 hits on the day, tied for the most in a single game this season.

The Miracle wrap up this series with the Cardinals at 7:05 p.m. Monday night before heading on the road to play six games against Jupiter and St. Lucie.

Bobby Lanigan (1-0) gets the start to try to snap the Miracle’s three-game losing skid.
