Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


PEARL, Miss. - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (18-27) and Mississippi Braves (20-25) were suspended due to rain and wet grounds going to the top of the third inning with Jacksonville leading Mississippi 2-0 at Trustmark Park on Wednesday night.

The clubs will resume the game and play it to its full nine innings on Thursday night beginning at 6 p.m. eastern / 5 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 second game of the five-game series.

Jacksonville built an early lead thanks to starting pitcher Nick Neidert, who collected an RBI single to put the Jumbo Shrimp in front 1-0. This was followed by a sacrifice fly from Mason Davis that grew the lead to 2-0. Neidert then struck out the side in order in the bottom of the second before the tarp was put on the field and the game went into delay.
