Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jumbo Shrimp starter Cody Poteet struck out 11 Pensacola Blue Wahoos in seven one-hit innings and J.C. Millan and Stone Garrett each homered Sunday in Jacksonville's 7-1 victory from the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
Millan, who collected three hits, began a scoreless second inning with a base hit off Pensacola (40-34, 2-2) reliever Jorge Alcala (5-5). After a pair of strikeouts, Anfernee Seymour walked. Corey Bird followed with an RBI single that put runners on the corners. Jacksonville (31-43, 2-2) then executed a double steal that plated Seymour to make it 2-0.
Joe Dunand doubled with one out in the third. Two batters later, Millan cranked a two-run shot to double the Jumbo Shrimp advantage. Garrett, who reached base three times, followed immediately after with a home run of his own to widen the margin to 5-0.
Garrett walked to begin the sixth and raced around to score two batters later on Seymour's double. After a ground out, Riley Mahan looped an RBI single to left to make it 7-0 Jumbo Shrimp.
Poteet surrendered just one hit and one walk in his seven frames. Pensacola's only run of the game came on Lewin Diaz's RBI double in the ninth.
