LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - A six-run fifth inning on Friday vaulted the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp to an 8-3 victory over the Gwinnett Stripers from Coolray Field.
With the score tied at one, Gwinnett (23-26) reliever Brooks Wilson (1-1) walked Griffin Conine to start the fifth before an error put runners on the corners. Xavier Edwards and Victor Mesa Jr. notched back-to-back RBI singles to give Jacksonville (21-28) a 3-1 lead. After Jonah Bride drew a free pass, Tristan Gray singled in a pair to double the advantage. Will Banfield followed with a base hit and Troy Johnston's RBI ground out plated another run. Javier Sanoja's RBI base knock capped the six-run inning - Jacksonville's second largest of the season - to make it 7-1.
Three consecutive hits from Marty Costes, Edwards and Mesa Jr. jumpstarted the sixth. After a strikeout, Gray's sacrifice fly put the Jumbo Shrimp ahead 8-1.
The Stripers got slightly closer in the seventh. J.P. Martinez was hit by a pitch with one out and Sean Murphy singled. Consecutive RBI singles from Eli White and Yuli Gurriel set the final margin at 8-3.
