LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Robinson Piña tossed 5.0 innings of one-run ball on Friday and the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp stymied a late Gwinnett Stripers rally in a 4-3 victory from Coolray Field.

Thanks to James McCann's first-inning home run, Gwinnett (21-34) led 1-0 when Jacob Berry singled to lead off the third inning. After a pair of outs, Andrew Pintar tied the game with an RBI triple before Joe Mack lashed an RBI single to give Jacksonville (34-21) the lead.

Stripers starter Ian Anderson (1-2) yielded a leadoff double to Troy Johnston in the fourth. After a ground out, Johnston stole third. Maximo Acosta drew a walk and then swiped second. An error brought in Johnston and then Xavier Edwards drew another walk before Jakob Marsee's RBI groundout plated Acosta to make it 4-1.

The score remained 4-1 until the bottom of the ninth. Carlos Rodriguez walked and then scored on a McCann double. After a pair of outs, an error brought in McCann to pull Gwinnett within one at 4-3. However, Anderson Pilar got Eddy Alvarez to pop out to end the game and pick up his second save.
