Jack Winkler began a scoreless second with a base hit off Norfolk (15-28) starter Kyle Brnovich (1-2). A Maximo Acosta walk and Brian Navarreto single loaded the bases for Jacob Berry, who lifted a sacrifice fly to right to bring home Winkler for the game’s first run.

Jacksonville responded immediately in the fourth. Berry doubled with one out and scored on a Mesa Jr. single. Pintar then lashed a two-run shot to left to widen the gap to 7-2.

Navarreto walked to jumpstart the sixth. After a pair of outs, Pintar walked. On a wild pitch coupled with an error, Navarreto scored from second to push the Jumbo Shrimp advantage to 8-2.
