Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp were shut out for the second straight day on Thursday in a 2-0 defeat to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in front of 5,906 fans at 121 Financial Ballpark.
The RailRiders (20-9) offense broke the stalemate in the top of the sixth inning using five consecutive hits to score two runs. T.J. Rumfield singled off Jumbo Shrimp (16-14) reliever Kent Emanuel (0-1), followed by another single from Oscar González. Jose Rojas ripped a single into right field but a baserunning gaffe by the RailrRders led to Jumbo Shrimp first basemen Troy Johnston sprinting across the field to tag out González at third base for the inning's first out.
Luis Torres lined another single up the middle, which scored Rumfield and gave Scranton/Wilkes-Barre a 1-0 lead. Josh VanMeter peppered another RBI single to center field that scored Rojas and increased the lead to 2-0.
The Jumbo Shrimp offense couldn't muster anything for the rest of the game as they were shutout for the second consecutive night.
