Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp rally fell short on Monday in a 3-2 loss to the Biloxi Shuckers from the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
Jacksonville (47-53, 18-12) led 2-1 when Bruce Caldwell doubled to lead off the third. Jumbo Shrimp starter Josh Roeder (1-3) then induced Patrick Leonard to ground out before walking Dillon Thomas. Weston Wilson followed with an RBI single to tie the game. After a walk to Cooper Hummell, C.J. Hinojosa lifted a sacrifice fly to give Biloxi (61-39, 20-10) a 3-2 lead.
Hinojosa's solo shot in the second marked the first run of the game. In the bottom of the second, the Jumbo Shrimp loaded the bases with no one out thanks to singles from Lazaro Alonso and Corey Bird sandwiched around a J.C. Millan walk. Rodrigo Vigil tied the game with an RBI ground out before a Roeder sacrifice bunt scored Millan to put Jacksonville ahead 2-1.
Shuckers starter Trey Supak (11-4) yielded two runs on five hits in 5.2 frames. He struck out six against two walks.
The Jacksonville bullpen trio of Alex Mateo, Brett Graves and Dylan Lee teamed for five shutout innings of relief.
