The Jupiter Hammerheads will take on the Tampa Tarpons in the Single-A Florida State League Championship on Sunday in Tampa. 

The Hammerheads recently clinched the FSL East Division after defeating Daytona in a best-of-three series. 

Game 1 is at George M. Steinbrenner Field while the final two games are at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. While Jupiter holds home field advantage in the championship series, the Hammerheads have lost all five matchups against the Tarpons this season. 

Echedry Vargas has been the Hammerheads’ MVP this season, batting .323 with 27 home runs and 94 RBI. Jacob Lombard has provided a spark for the Hammerheads since being drafted and has been their postseason MVP with a home run in both of Jupiter’s wins over Daytona in the first round of the playoffs. 

Marlins No. 5 prospect RHP Karson Milbrandt has struggled in Triple-A since his promotion but has finally seemed to have turned the corner on Friday. He recorded his first quality start since June 6, allowing only one run on four hits and four strikeouts in six innings. Jacksonville fell to Gwinnett 3-2 in extra innings. 

Matthew Etzel leads the Jumbo Shrimp in OBP (.346) and runs (70). He has also hit a career high 19 home runs in his first full season in Triple-A

Marlins No. 6 prospect Cam Cannarella enters Sunday with an 11-game on-base streak. Cannarella is batting .330 with 15 home runs, 56 RBI and 21 stolen bases through three different minor league levels. 

Double-A Pensacola seemed to have picked up a secret weapon just in time for the Southern League playoffs. Marlins No. 27 prospect Max Williams has hit a home run in five of eight games since joining the Blue Wahoos on Sept. 4. The Florida State alum is slashing .355/.389/.968 with six home runs and 13 RBI through that stretch. 

No. 24 prospect Cristian Hernández leads all Marlins minor leaguers with 29 doubles. Hernández also has 13 home runs, 47 RBI and 35 stolen bases with the Blue Wahoos. 

The Blue Wahoos have more games with the Biloxi Shuckers on Sunday before the two teams meet in a best-of-three Divisional Series, beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

The Beloit Sky Carp finished the High-A season on Sunday, Sept. 6, with a 66-65 record. They went 39-27 in the second half but narrowly missed out on the Midwest League playoffs.
