Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


MOBILE, Ala. - After the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning, the Mobile BayBears tied the game in the bottom of the inning and took the lead with a three-run third on the way to a 7-3 win and Jacksonville's season-high eighth straight loss in the second game of a four-game series at Hank Aaron Stadium Thursday night.

The Jumbo Shrimp (3-11 second half, 31-51 overall) took their first-inning lead against Mobile right-hander Jesus Castillo (7-4), who allowed four straight one-out hits. Center fielder Monte Harrison singled to left field and went to third base on second baseman Isan Diaz's single to right field. Castillo's wild pitch scored Harrison, and designated hitter Peter O'Brien drove in Diaz with a double to center field. After shortstop Joe Dunand singled to left field, first baseman Eric Jagielo hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. Castillo allowed only one more hit in the rest of his six-inning start, with one walk and five strikeouts, before right-handers Samil De Los Santos (one inning) and Daniel Procopio (two innings) pitched hitless relief.

In the bottom of the first inning, Jumbo Shrimp right-hander Kolton Mahoney (3-4) walked Mobile shortstop Luis Rengifo, who went to second base on a groundout and scored on catcher Jack Kruger's RBI single to right field. First baseman Jared Walsh then hit a two-run home run to left field, tying the game, 3-3. In the third inning, Mobile center fielder Brennon Lund hit a leadoff infield single and went to third base on Mahoney's errant pickoff throw. Kruger hit a go-ahead RBI single to right field, stole second base, advanced to third base on a flyout and scored on third baseman Zach Houchins' RBI single to right field. Designated hitter Jose Rojas singled, and right fielder Brandon Sandoval hit a two-out RBI single to make it 6-3. Mahoney allowed six earned runs on eight hits and one walk with two strikeouts in three innings.

The BayBears (8-5, 45-36) added their final run in the sixth inning against Jacksonville right-hander Lukas Schiraldi, who walked the first three batters of the inning before getting Lund to ground into a double play that tallied a run. Schiraldi pitched 2 1/3 innings, while fellow relievers Ryan Newell, Miguel Del Pozo and Kyle Keller combined for shutout relief.
