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 of the Division Championship Series to capture their first ever Division title.[3] Jupiter lost in the FSL Championship in the fifth and final game against the Lakeland Flying Tigers, despite holding a 2–1 lead after Game 3.[4][5]
