Fire Frogs Defeat Tarpons, 4-2
The Tampa Tarpons got a superb performance from pitcher Braden Palmer, but the Florida Fire Frogs still won the game, 4-2. Palmer threw 7.2 innings of 6-hit ball. The Tarpons fall to 5-7 and continue their lackluster start to the 2024 season.

Mark King provided a timely hit. The Florida pinch hitter delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the tenth inning to put the Fire Frogs on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Florida skipper David Ross.
