CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (47-52, 18-11) defeated the Chattanooga Lookouts (44-54, 8-21) by a 10-5 score in the fourth game of the four-game series at AT&T Field on Sunday afternoon.
The win completed a four-game sweep for the Jumbo Shrimp in Chattanooga, as Jacksonville handed the Lookouts their 14th consecutive loss, one loss shy of tying the Southern League record for the longest losing streak in league history.
Jacksonville left-handed starting pitcher
Jacksonville struck first with a pair of runs in the top of the first inning.
The Jumbo Shrimp used the long ball to get back in front, as
In the top of the sixth inning, Millan added an RBI double to grow the lead to 10-2. The Lookouts answered in the bottom of the sixth with a Gavin LaValley two-run home run to make it a 10-4 score. Mitch Nay added the final Lookouts run with an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to put the score at 10-5, which would be the final.
Each player in Jacksonville's starting lineup recorded a base hit in the contest, and Seymour's four runs batted in off of his grand slam gave him a career high in RBI. Seymour was one of three Shrimp hitters with a multi-RBI game, and five hitters had multi-hit games.
