Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release
MOBILE, Ala. - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (12-24, 40-64) and the Mobile BayBears (14-21, 51-52) were suspended due to rain and severe weather in the bottom of the first inning with no score in the second game of the five-game series at Hank Aaron Stadium on Sunday night.
The clubs will resume the game and play it to its full nine innings on Monday night beginning at 6:05 p.m. eastern / 5:05 p.m. central, and then after that contest is complete there will be a 30-minute break before a seven-inning game will be played as the third game of the five-game series.
After the Jumbo Shrimp were set down in order in the top of the first by BayBears right-handed starter Jason Alexander, Jacksonville right-handed starting pitcher Max Duval struck out Jahmai Jones to start the bottom of the first. With Brennon Lund at the plate and the count 2-2, a lightning blast close to the stadium prompted the initial weather delay at 5:17 p.m. central, and then the game was officially suspended at 6:36 p.m. central.
Fans can listen to Monday's games on the Jumbo Shrimp Network presented by Community First, beginning at 5:50 p.m. eastern with the pregame show "Shrimp On Deck" locally on Sunny 102.3 FM, on the TuneIn Radio app, and www.jaxshrimp.com.
