JACKSONVILLE EDGES MOBILE 3-2

Daniel Castano pitched six strong innings and Stone Garrett lashed a timely double to help the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp to a 3-2 triumph over the Mobile BayBears. The Jumbo Shrimp took a lead in the first inning on Joe Dunand's RBI single. The score remained 1-0 until the fifth. Roberto Baldoquin lined an RBI double before a wild pitch plated Bo Way to put the BayBears in front at 2-1. In the bottom of the fifth, Garrett bashed a two-run two-bagger to put Jacksonville up 3-2. After Edward Cabrera pitched two scoreless innings, Castano yielded just two runs on six hits in six frames. Tommy Eveld picked up his 11th save with a scoreless ninth inning.

THE AMAZING RACE

With just six games to play in the regular season, Jacksonville trails Biloxi by 2.0 games in the South Division standings, with Pensacola lurking in third place just 1.5 game behind the Jumbo Shrimp and 3.5 back of the Shuckers. Because the Shuckers and Blue Wahoos will only play 69 games in the second half compared to Jacksonville's 70, the Jumbo Shrimp will have to finish at least a half-game ahead of each club to earn their second playoff appearance in three years. Thus, Jacksonville needs two more wins than Biloxi while earning the same amount of victories as

Pensacola games to take the South Division's second-half title. The Jumbo Shrimp face an elimination number of five entering play on Tuesday, meaning any combination of Biloxi wins and Jacksonville losses adding up to five would eliminate the Jumbo Shrimp from the postseason.

WELCOME TO JAZZSONVILLE

Jumbo Shrimp shortstop Jazz Chisholm is starting to hit his stride for the first time in a Jacksonville uniform since his July 31 trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks' organization. The Nassau, Bahamas native has recorded at least one base knock in eight consecutive games, batting 11-for-28 (.393/.485/.536) with two doubles, one triple, three RBIs and five walks during that span. After striking out in 33.8 percent of his plate appearances with Double-A Jackson, Chisholm has dropped his strikeout rate to 25.5 percent with Jacksonville while walking at a slightly better clip (11.7 percent from 11.3 percent). The 21-year-old has also seen his line drive rate skyrocket from 18.4 to 28.6 percent.

THE SORCERER'S STONE

There have been five five-hit games in the Southern League this year, four of which have been notched by Jacksonville players. Jumbo Shrimp outfielder Stone Garrett has bagged two of those efforts, making him the first Jacksonville player with multiple five-hit games in recorded club history, which dates back through the 2005 season. Over his last 16

contests, the Richmond, Texas native is a scorching 22-for-59 at the plate, slashing .373/.413/.729 with six doubles, five home runs and 18 RBIs.

BAYBEARS, BEETS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

Jacksonville faces a 2.0-game deficit with six to play in the South Division, but the club can only look at its lack of success against a woeful Mobile team to find itself in this predicament. The BayBears, who have both the Southern League's worst overall record at 49-82 (.374) and run differential (-148), have gone 10-10 against the Jumbo Shrimp this season despite getting outscored by Jacksonville 78-59. Of Mobile's 10 wins over Jacksonville in 2019, eight have come by no more than two runs; the BayBears are 8-3 against the Jumbo Shrimp in games

decided by two runs or fewer.

CRAZY. STUPID. GLOVE.

Jacksonville's season-best nine-game errorless streak ended on August 13, but the club has still boasted a strong defense through virtually the entirety of the 2019 season. Because errors are subjective in nature and only penalize fielders who actually reach balls in play, perhaps the best introspection of a club's defense in the minor leagues is its defensive efficiency, a simple measure of how often a team turns batted balls put into play against it into outs. Jacksonville boasts a .724 defensive efficiency that leads the Southern League.

CONNECT FOUR

Buoyed by strong pitching throughout the season, the Jumbo Shrimp offense has been given a bigger margin of error by not needing to score huge quantities of runs to win games. In fact, Jacksonville has won each of its last 28 of its last 29 contests when hitting the four-run marker. On the season, when the Jumbo Shrimp tally at least four scores, the club is a sterling 48-7 (.873).
