Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3, Charlotte Knights 1 (7 Innings, Game 1) (Statcast Box)
The knights were short of today’s Double Header against Jacksonville.
Jacksonville scored a point in each of the first three innings against Knights -Starter Sean Burke. In the first, Joe Mack made an RBI -Double and Burke gave some extra sharp contact in the second and third frames. Kemp Alderman went deep into the second and Mack Homde in the third. Fortunately, both homers were solo -recordings and Burke recovered to end with the minimum requirements for a quality start (six innings, three earned runs).
Despite the recovery of Burke, the knights did not have enough attack to complete a comeback. In the sixth, Corey Julks led away with a double, and with one from Andre Lipcius launched his own double. However, that was the first and final run for the Knights in this game, and Jacksonville held up for a 3-1 win.

Charlotte’s starting pitcher was [redacted]who kept the Jumbo shrimps from the board to the bottom of the fourth. Nathan Martorella went deep on a change and alderman followed with a solo explosion on a fastball. Those back-to-back jacks gave Jacksonville a 2-0 lead.
It seemed that those two runs would be enough for the Jumbo shrimps to come to the top for the Doublehead Sweep. Jacksonville took the 2-0 lead to the top of the seventh and Reliever Zach McCambley had control and eliminated the first two batters. Suddenly the knights were out to their last, but they were not quite done yet.
Jacob Amaya hit a lining that Jacksonville Fielder Matthew Etzel almost caught, but he couldn’t make the piece. Amaya stopped in second place with a double to extend the game, and Dru Baker crashed to put runners in the corners. Caden Connor kept the rally going with an RBI Single and Corey Julks stepped up to the plate. With a 2-2 count, Julks and the Knights were until their last strike, but Julks supplied a coupling doubles to place the knights in the front.
Reliever Peyton Pallette took over to pitch the bottom of the seventh and he was very effective. Pallette was confronted with four batters, spent one walk and spread the other three. As a result, the Knights won this thriller, 3-2. What a game.
Birmingham Barons 8, Chattanooga Lookouts 0
The barons (76-52) continued their winning ways with a dominant victory over the lookout (67-57).
Many barons had strong performance and starting pitcher Lucas Gordon, 23, led the effort. Gordon threw five shutout, and by the time his outing was over, the barons were strong control. This was Gordon’s second game in Double-A, because he was just promoted from Winston-Salem. All in all, this was a fantastic version for Gordon, against whom the viewpoints only encountered two hits.
Rikuu Nishida led the game by taking a walk for the barons. After Nishida had contracted a second sacrificial battle, Wilfred Veras drove him in with an RBI Single. That single gave the barons an early lead and they led further from that point.
In the fourth moisture DJ Gladey with a two-run Homer with two out. That explosion tripled the lead of Birmingham and the situation of the barons only improved from there. Birmingham scored one in the sixth and four in the eighth to pull away from Chattanooga. The biggest hit of Birmingham during the Vier-Run inning was a Bases Clearing Triple by Sam Antonacci.
Greenville Drive 5, Winston-Salem Dash 0
The dashboard (54-72) could not get anything about insult, pick up only two hits and do not score against Greenville (64-64).
Dash -starter Frankeli Arias, 22, had some control problems, while he ran four out of three innings. Arias, however, kept the game within reach by allowing only one point. That run scored on a walk with the bases loaded and two out in the top of the third, and from that moment the drive was in charge.
The Dash Relievers allowed four points (three earned) in six innings, so in general it was not a terrible day, but it wasn’t great either. But even if the Dash relievers were perfect, it wouldn’t matter. Scoring opportunities were hard to find for Winston-Salem, who ended 0-out-3 with runners in a score position.
Kannapolis Cannon Ballers 6, Augusta Greenjackets 2
The cannon ballers (62-66) set up a large fourth inning to pull away from the greenjackets (65-60). As a result, Kannapolis is on its way to a 2-0 series lead in Augusta.
Cannon Ballers -Starter Justin Sinibaldi, 23, set the tone early, scattered five hits and only one point in four hits. Sinibaldi is on a hot series, because he has only allowed two points in his last three starts, with 13 1/3 innings.
In the meantime, the Cannon Ballers attack came a slow start, but that quickly changed to the fourth. Jordan Sprinkle was hit by a throw and did a Jordan Sprinke Thing, stealing his 75th base in 83 attempts this season. From there, Ely Brown, George Wolkow and Anthony Depino went three consecutive walks to force in the first run of the competition. A productive basis from Miguel Santos resulted in the second run and Arxy Hernández rode in a few with a timely single.
The greenjackets came on the board in the fifth and they added a point in the sixth to reduce their shortage to two. However, that was so close to Augusta got the rest of the road. Kannapolis added two insurance runs in the ninth, when Sprinkle hit a sacrifice and Brown took an RBI Single.
Cannon Ballers Reliever Liam Paddack, 22, was at a different level in this game. Paddack faced nine batters, and he pulled them all with him and threw eight out. Yes, Paddack really spent eight of the nine batters with whom he was confronted. Paddack threw out the first seven batters with whom he was confronted until John Estevez finally broke the line with a ground.
