Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Strong performances from Bennett Hostetler and Jakob Marsee were vital in the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp's 5-3 victory over the Gwinnett Stripers on Saturday in front of 9,180 fans from 121 Financial Ballpark.
Behind 1-0, Jacksonville's (72-76, 37-36) offense awoke in the bottom of the second. With one out, Jared Serna worked a walk and Ali Sánchez laced a double against Gwinnett (72-77, 37-37) starter Bryce Elder (10-6) to put two runners on. With runners at second and third, Hostetler smacked a two-run double to give the Jumbo Shrimp the lead. Harrison Spohn continued the offense with a single, which put two runners on. With runners at the corners and one out, Marsee flared an RBI single to extend the Jacksonville lead. Following a flyout, Dane Myers singled home Spohn to make it a 4-1 game.
Trailing 4-1 in the fourth, Andrew Velasquez cracked a one-out double for the Stripers. Two batters later, Luke Williams singled. With runners on first and third, Gwinnett pulled off a double steal as Velasquez scored from third and Williams advanced to second. Now trailing 4-2, Nacho Alvarez Jr. smacked a single to put runners at the corners. Drake Baldwin followed with a ground-rule double and picked an RBI to make 4-3 Jacksonville.
Leading 4-3 in the sixth, Hostetler (1) clobbered his first Triple-A home run, which extended the Jumbo Shrimp lead to 5-3.
Jumbo Shrimp starter Yonny Chirinos (10-6) yielded three runs, two earned, on eight hits in 5.0 innings with five strikeouts against one walk. Sixto Sánchez pitched a scoreless sixth in a rehab appearance, and following Matt Pushard's 2.0 shutout innings, Anthony Maldonado tossed a blank ninth inning for his fifth save.
Gwinnett opened the scoring in the second. With two outs, J.P. Martinez reached first on an error. He stole second and scored one batter later on an RBI double from Williams, which gave the Stripers a 1-0 lead.
