Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp came from behind on Saturday to beat the Mobile BayBears 3-1 at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. A crowd of 8,672 enjoyed a Scampi Bobblehead Giveaway presented by Community First Credit Union, 76c Gas Fill Up The Park Night and a Saturday Night Postgame Fireworks Show.

The score was tied at one when Joe Dunand led off the seventh by singling against Mobile (48-80, 21-39) starter Max Herrmann (1-3). A Brian Miller infield bunt single coupled with a BayBears error put runners on the corners. Stone Garrett followed with an RBI double to give Jacksonville (64-67, 35-26) their first lead of the contest. Riley Mahan's sacrifice fly then put the Jumbo Shrimp ahead 3-1.

A Brandon Marsh home run in the first inning was Mobile's only offense against Jumbo Shrimp starter Josh Roeder. The right-hander yielded just one run on two hits in six innings, striking out five against one walk. He retired 16 BayBears in a row at one point.

With Jacksonville down 1-0, Anfernee Seymour singled to start the sixth. A sacrifice bunt moved him to second. After a ground out, Jazz Chisholm's RBI single tied the game.

Jordan Guerrero (1-0) earned the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Tommy Eveld earned his 10th save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.

Saturday's winning raffle number of 1585787036 won a prize of $258.
