Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp right-handers Kolton Mahoney and Brett Graves combined for a five-hit shutout of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos in a 4-0, seven-inning win in front of 5,592 before NAPA AutoCare Family Fireworks Friday night at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. The second game of the doubleheader was postponed until Saturday, when the teams will play a doubleheader of seven-inning games at 5:05 p.m., with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

Due to the rain-delayed start that pushed Friday's first pitch to 8:52 p.m., regular individual tickets for Friday, June 1, may be exchanged at the box office for a ticket of equal or lesser value to any remaining regular season home game. Tickets from previous rainouts (Sunday, April 15; Sunday, May 20; Thursday, May 31) may also be exchanged. Fans holding tickets for Saturday, June 2, are welcome to attend both games of the doubleheader, which will be followed by fireworks. Group picnics will remain at their scheduled times. The 121 Financial Baseball Bat Can Cooler Giveaway will be for the first 2,000 fans when gates open at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

On Friday, the Jumbo Shrimp (22-31) took a first-inning lead. Pensacola right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez (1-8) walked left fielder Kyle Barrett - who stole second base - and hit center fielder Monte Harrison with a pitch. After a double steal, second baseman Isan Diaz hit an RBI single to right field. Right fielder John Norwood grounded to third baseman Taylor Sparks, but Harrison beat the throw home. Third baseman Brian Schales hit an RBI single to right field for a 3-0 lead.

With one out in the third inning, Gutierrez walked first baseman Eric Jagielo and Schales. Catcher Sharif Othman hit a fly ball to the left-center field warning track that scored Jagielo on an RBI single. That ended the night for Gutierrez, who allowed four earned runs on three hits and four walks with five strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings.

Mahoney pitched four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and no walks with six strikeouts. On a rehab assignment from the Miami Marlins, Graves (1-1) scattered three hits and one walk with three strikeouts over the final three innings.

UP NEXT: The Jumbo Shrimp conclude their series with Pensacola in a doubleheader at 5:05 p.m. Saturday. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., when the first 2,000 fans receive a Baseball Bat Can Cooler, courtesy of 121 Financial. For ERMAHGERD JMBSHRMP Meme Night, the original internet meme, Ermahgerd Girl, whose real name is Maggie Goldenberger, will throw a ceremonial first pitch and then take photos and meet and greet fans. On Hurricane Preparedness Night, one lucky fan will win a generator from Lowe's. Following the doubleheader are Saturday Night Fireworks, which follow each Saturday game through June 16.
