reached home on a Jacksonville passed ball to take a 2-0 lead.
In the following inning, SS Tristan Gray connected on a solo bomb to extend the Bulls lead to three, and DH Joe Hudson used two-run double to add insurance runs in the ninth and a 5-0 lead. Jacksonville SS Demetrius Sims got his team on the board in the ninth on an RBI single. The Jumbo Shrimp had runners on second and third with two outs in the ninth, and Bulls pitcher
Calvin Faucher got a strikeout to secure the win.
Bulls' pitcher Kevin Herget made his second appearance on the mound and picked up his second win after throwing five scoreless innings, allowing three hits, and ringing up nine strikeouts. Jacksonville pitcher Edward Cabrera picked up the loss.
