The Tides offense didn’t wake up until the eighth inning, tying things with a three spot in that frame, but then gave up a walkoff in the ninth. No one scored any runs through the first three innings, and the teams managed only three hits combined. Then, in the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs, Jacksonville CF Victor Mesa Jr. launched a curveball over the center field fence for a solo home run.
Jacksonville doubled its lead in the fifth. Jumbo Shrimp LF Jonathan Davis reached on a fielder’s choice and 3B Jonah Davis doubled to center field to score the other Davis from third.
