The Jupiter Hammerheads are a minor league baseball team based in the town of Jupiter in Palm Beach County, Florida. The team plays in the Florida State League and is the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Miami Marlins major-league club.
The Hammerheads play their home games at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. Opened in 1998, the park seats 6,871 fans.[1] They share the facility with the Palm Beach Cardinals, also of the FSL.
On May 23, 2011, the Hammerheads gained national attention after playing in a 23 inning game against the Clearwater Threshers.[2]
In 2012, the Hammerheads won the 2nd Half Division Title and went on to defeat the St. Lucie Mets in a decisive Game 3[3] of the Division Championship Series to capture their first ever Division crown. Jupiter would lose in the FSL Championship[4] in the fifth and final game against the Lakeland Flying Tigers, despite holding a 2-1 lead after Game 3.[5]
