Series Preview: A Duel of the Dean to Kick off August
We’ve turned the calendar to the final full month of the season, and the drama is just now starting to heat up.
Series Preview: A Duel at the Dean to Kick off August
The Palm Beach Cardinals host the Jupiter Hammerheads this week for an action-packed series at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium (RDCS)! Both teams are in a race to clinch a spot in the Florida State League playoffs, and fans attending this series’ games will be treated to arguably our biggest week of promotions in 2022!
Currently, the Cardinals (47-47, 17-13 second half) lead Jupiter (50-43, 16-13 second half) by half of a game in the FSL East second half season standings. The division’s second half champion will face the St. Lucie Mets in the East Division Championship Series for a spot in the League Championship Series in September. Should the Mets—2022’s first half division winner—erase a two-game deficit and also win the second half, the team with the second-best overall record in the division would join St. Lucie in the best-of-three series.
This week serves as the final series between RDCS rivals Jupiter and Palm Beach, who will complete a 25-game season series that will prove pivotal in the postseason hunt. In addition, both teams will display newly acquired top talent from July’s 2022 MLB Draft draft! C Jimmy Crooks, OF Victor Scott, OF Alex Iadisernia, and more will wear the Beach Bird uniform for the first time at home! Meanwhile, the Hammerheads will feature Miami Marlins first-round pick OF Jacob Barry (1st Round – 6 Overall), as well as 1B Torin Montgomery (14th Round – 412 Overall) and OF Chase Luttrell (13th Round – 382 Overall) on a team that already features five of the organization’s top 20 overall prospects!
