Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A walk-off wild pitch lifted the Rochester Red Wings to a 6-5 victory on Saturday over the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp at ESL Ballpark.
The Jumbo Shrimp (50-43, 8-11) led 5-3 In the seventh when Cayden Wallace singled and Maxwell Romero Jr. walked with one out. After a strikeout, an error loaded the bases. Abimelec Ortiz then blooped a two-run double down the left field line to knot the score at five.
Jacksonville stranded a pair of runners in both the eighth and ninth innings. In the bottom of the ninth, Wallace drew a leadoff walk against Jumbo Shrimp reliever Josh White (5-2). After a sacrifice bunt, a ground out pushed Wallace to third. Following a walk to Christian Franklin, Jacksonville intentionally walked Ortiz. However, a wild pitch scored Wallace to win the game for the Red Wings (55-38, 10-10).
Connor Norby got the scoring started with a solo home run two batters into the game.
The score remained 1-0 until the fourth. Ortiz drew a leadoff walk. Two batters later, Andrew Pinckney singled and then Trey Lipscomb blasted a three-run homer to put Rochester in front 3-1.
The Jumbo Shrimp came charging back in the fifth. Andrew Pintar led off with a single before stealing second. After Gage Miller was hit by a pitch, a double steal put both runners in scoring position. Jared Serna cashed in Pintar with an RBI single and then Miller scored to tie the game on a double play ground ball. Cam Cannarella followed with a walk before swiping second. A Norby single coupled with an error allowed Cannarella to score, putting Jacksonville back in front.
Pintar walked with two outs in the sixth before advancing to second on a wild pitch. He scored on Miller's RBI single to make it 5-3 Jumbo Shrimp.
