JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - For the third time this series, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp played from behind early and couldn't overcome the deficit as they fell 5-1 to the Worcester Red Sox Saturday night in front of a crowd at 7,374 at 121 Financial Ballpark.

The Red Sox (4-1) continued to stay hot this series as they blew the game open in the top of the third. Up 2-0, Franchy Cordero led off with a single and Ronaldo Hernandez followed with a single of his own to put runners on first and second. After a flyout and strikeout, Johan Mieses (2) blasted a three-run home run to increase their lead to 5-0.

Jacksonville (1-4) broke into the run column in the fourth inning. Lorenzo Quintana reached on a fielding error and advanced to second on a two-out single by Charles LeBlanc. Erik Gonzalez followed with an RBI single to cut the deficit to 5-1 but that is where the scoring stopped, as the bullpens shut down both opposing lineups over the next five innings.

Jacksonville and Worcester continue their series tomorrow at 3:05 p.m. The Jumbo Shrimp will turn to RHP Paul Campbell (0-1, 9.82) and the Red Sox will counter with LHP Darwinzon Hernandez (0-0, 6.75).
