The Bradenton Marauders were the only team to hit the field out of the four Pittsburgh Pirates affiliates yesterday. The Marauders had a good showing as they defeated the St. Lucie Mets by a score of 8-3. The Marauders received a good balance of solid pitching and good hitting. Taylor Hearn received the start for the Pittsburgh Pirates High-A affiliate. Hearn, who was acquired by the Pittsburgh Pirates for Mark Melancon, had a nice bounce back game. In his previous start he only lasted two innings, but last night he threw six innings. The big left-handed pitcher gave up two run overs his six innings of work.
