JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Despite a 7-0 loss in Sunday's twin bill opener, a crowd 5,249 fans saw Jordan Groshans blast a three-run home run as the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp won 6-3 in the second game of their doubleheader with the Nashville Sounds at 121 Financial Ballpark.

Jacksonville (62-55) took the final lead in game two in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, Bryson Brigman and Ray-Patrick Didder singled off Nashville (70-46) reliever J.C. Mejía (L, 0-1). Following a pop out, Groshans (2) blasted a three-run home run, his first with Jacksonville, to give them the 6-3 lead, which was enough to put them in the win column.

The Jumbo Shrimp flipped the script in game two. In the third inning, Brigman was hit by a pitch, stole second and reached third on an error. Three batters later, Groshans walked and Bryan De La Cruz smacked a base hit, scoring Brigman to put Jacksonville ahead 1-0.

Two more runs crossed the plate in the Jacksonville half of the fourth inning. With one out, Erik González doubled and then scored on a single from Brigman. Didder followed with a walk. After a fly out, Groshans swatted a single that scored Brigman to push the Jumbo Shrimp lead to 3-0.

Nashville began their climb back in the fifth. Nick Kahle led off the inning with a double and reached third on a wild pitch. With one out, Ruiz doubled home Kahle for the Sounds first run of game two. Turang tallied his second hit of the day that and Ruiz scored from second to cut the deficit to 3-2.

In the sixth inning, the Sounds completed the come back and tied the game. Patrick Dorrian led off with a double against Jacksonville reliever George Soriano (W, 2-2). A passed ball allowed Dorrian to advance to third, and he then scored on a sac fly from Wiemer to tie the game at three.

Nashville jumped out to an early lead in game one and never looked back. Sal Frelick singled and Esteury Ruiz doubled to kick off the top of the first. Brice Turang continued his hot series with an RBI single to put the Sounds up 1-0. Ruiz advanced to third and both runners scored on a two-run double from Jon Singleton to push the lead to 3-0. Pablo Reyes knocked the fifth consecutive hit of the inning and Singleton scored from second to give Nashville a 4-0 advantage after the first inning.

The second inning saw Nashville increase their lead by one. With two outs, Turang (11) blasted a solo home run off Jacksonville starter Jeff Lindgren (L, 2-2) as the Sounds padded their lead 5-0.
