With 7,570 on hand at 121 Financial Ballpark, the hometown Jumbo Shrimp walked off with an 8-7 victory.

Bryson Brigman got the Shrimp off to an early lead with his second homer of the season, a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning. Chad Wallach doubled their lead in the fourth with an RBI-single.

Still leading, 2-1 in the fifth, Jesús Sánchez smacked his ninth homer of the season, a two-run shot that went 508 feet. The lead wouldn’t last. The Tides scored five runs between the sixth and the seventh to take a 6-4 lead into the ninth inning.

Santiago Chavez got the Shrimp back into it with a game-saving one-out two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth. After the Tides scored their runner from second in the top of the 10th, Deven Marrero ended it with a bases-loaded two-run single in the bottom of the inning.

Sanchéz led the Jacksonville offense with a single, a double, and a homer. Brigman, Marrero, and Corey Bird each finished with a pair of hits.

Sean Guenther pitched the 10th and earned the victory, his first at the Triple-A level. Tomorrow’s finale starts at 12:35 PM, with Shawn Morimando (0-2, 6.75) taking his turn on the hill.
