DURHAM, N.C. - Troy Johnston homered on Wednesday, but the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp were edged 3-2 by the Durham Bulls at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

After Johnston went deep in the top of the first, Curtis Mead hit a solo shot off Jumbo Shrimp (58-39, 11-11) starter Adam Laskey (0-2) to tie the score in the bottom of the first.

The Bulls grabbed the lead in the third. Jonny DeLuca doubled with one out and then Mead blasted a two-run homer to make it 3-1.

Jakob Marsee jumpstarted the fifth with a double. He stole third and scored two batters later on Deyvison De Los Santos' RBI single to draw Jacksonville within 3-2. The Jumbo Shrimp, though, could get no closer, stranding 10 runners by going 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

Jacksonville and Durham meet again in Thursday's 6:35 p.m. contest. RHP Morgan McSweeney (3-0, 0.40 ERA) starts for the Jumbo Shrimp against Bulls RHP Joey Gerber (0-1, 5.20 ERA). Coverage begins at 6:20 p.m. on ESPN 690AM and www.ESPN690.com.
