The Bradenton Marauders are down to their final three outs in Game 1 of the South Division Championship Series.
Jose Coronado ripped a two-out, two-run double to deep center off reliever Diego Moreno to give the St. Lucie Mets a 4-2 lead in the top of the ninth inning.
The Marauders initially caught a break earlier in the inning when Francisco Pena ripped a line drive down the left-field line that easily would have scored Jefry Marte from first. But the ball rolled into the Mets' bullpen and was ruled a ground-rule double, forcing Marte to stop at third.
But Coronado's double made it moot.
The Marauders will send up Elevys Gonzalez, Evan Chambers and Cole White in the bottom of the ninth against Mets reliever Jeff Kaplan, who had 12 saves this season.
