Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release
PAPILLION, Neb. - Javier Sanoja collected four hits and an RBI, but the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp dropped an 8-6 contest to the Omaha Storm Chasers at Werner Park.

After a fly out, Nick Pratto smacked an RBI double to get Omaha (20-11) on the board. Devin Mann followed with an RBI single and Nate Eaton crushed a two-run shot to give the Storm Chasers a 4-3 lead.
Waters doubled to lead off the third. After a pair of outs, Mann doubled him in to make it 5-3.
Omaha used a pair of two-baggers again in the fifth to add to their lead. Waters again led off the inning with a double. Two batters later, Pratto doubled him in.
With the score 6-3 in the eighth, Eaton reached second on an infield single coupled with an error. He scored on Tyler Gentry's single, with Gentry reaching third on another error. After a walk, Austin Nola lifted sacrifice fly to put the gap at 8-3.
The Jumbo Shrimp rallied in the ninth. Griffin Conine drew a leadoff walk. Following a strikeout, Jonathan Guzman walked. Victor Mesa Jr. plated both runners with a double before scoring on Sanoja's RBI single to pull within 8-6. However, Walter Pennington struck out the next two batters to end the threat and pick up his second save.
