Huntsville Stars News Release

The Huntsville Stars found themselves on the wrong side of a 6-5 nailbiter with the Jacksonville Suns on Sunday afternoon. In a game that featured three lead changes, the Stars crawled back from a 3-0 deficit to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the eighth inning after an RBI single by catcher Jason Jaramillo. Unfortunately, Huntsville would lose that lead for good in the bottom of the frame as Jose Duarte pinch-hit two-run homerun for the Suns. Santo Manzanillo earned the loss for the Stars, falling to 0-1 on the season. The final game of the Stars five-game season opening series with the Suns will begin at 12:05 ET on Monday with RHP R.J Seidel taking the mound for the Stars opposing Suns RHP Aaron Poveda.
