Brevard County Manatees News Release


TAMPA, Fla. - The Brevard County Manatees were shut out for the third time this season as they were blanked 3-0 by the Tampa Yankees at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Monday night.

2011 first round draft pick Taylor Jungmann (2-3, 2.72) gave the 'Tees a quality as he allowed three runs in seven innings of work, while striking out six. Jungmann scattered eight hits against Tampa, including two that went for extra bases.

Tampa scored early on as they pushed a run across in both the second and third innings. Tyson Blaser drove in Rob Segedin with a RBI single in the second, while Jose Mojica led the third inning off with a solo homer to give the Yanks a 2-0 lead.

The Yankees' other run came in the bottom of the fifth as Eduardo Sosa doubled home Garrison Lassiter.

Offensively, Brevard County (11-14) struggled once again as they tallied just three hits, struck out eight times and went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The Manatees did draw seven walks, but were unable to take advantage as they left eight men on base.

Brandon Kintzler, who was just assigned to the Manatees on a Major League rehab assignment, threw a scoreless eighth inning as he allowed a double and a walk.

Brevard County will look to get back in the win column on Tuesday night as they take on Tampa (12-13) in the second game of their three-game set.

Jimmy Nelson (2-1, 1.76) will take the mound for the 'Tees. In his last outing, which was last Friday against Tampa, he struck out six batters in 7 2/3 innings.

The Yanks will send Nik Turley (2-0, 2.01) to the bump. Last Friday, Turley struck out five in eight innings of work against Brevard County.
