Jacksonville – The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp achieved a historic milestone on Sunday by sweeping the Nashville Sounds in a six-game series, marking the first time in team history that Nashville has been swept in such a series. Nashville fell to the Jumbo Shrimp 2-1, adding to their streak of losses, which now stands at seven consecutive games.
The game began with Nashville taking an early lead. Steward Berroa hit a double in the first inning and scored after a throwing error, giving the Sounds a 1-0 advantage. However, they could not maintain the momentum. The turning point for Jacksonville came in the sixth inning when Andrew Pintar hit a two-run single, which allowed the Jumbo Shrimp to capitalize on a loaded base scenario consisting of walks and a critical double by Jacob Berry.
Nashville had a few opportunities to tie the game in the eighth inning, managing to get runners on first and second, but the rally ended with two strikeouts. The Sounds desperately needed a last-minute push in the ninth but went down in order, sealing their defeat at 2-1 against Jacksonville.
Jacksonville’s success is largely attributed to their pitching performance. Carlos Rodriguez made a noteworthy return from the injured list, throwing 5.0 scoreless innings while striking out six batters. The pitching staff, including Matt Pushard, Michael Petersen, Declan Cronin, Zach McCambley, and Christian Roa combined to deliver 5.1 hitless innings, showcasing their depth and reliability on the mound.
This victory improved Jacksonville’s record to 71-42 and continues their impressive run this season, standing at 24-14 in their current play. The Jumbo Shrimp have now executed four sweeps this season, the first of which under this format since at least 2005. They also extend their current winning streak to seven games, having won 12 of their last 13 matchups. The team is now 29 games over .500 for the first time since 2006.
On the flip side, Nashville’s performance has been concerning, as their record fell to 61-51 with a 17-22 record in the current season. Following the loss, the Sounds will take a day off on Monday before heading to Durham, NC for a six-game series against the Durham Bulls. The first pitch for that game is set for 5:35 PM CT on Tuesday.
This series sweep not only highlights Jacksonville’s dominance in the matchup but also raises questions about Nashville’s trajectory as they work to turn around their losing streak. With both teams heading in different directions, the upcoming games will be crucial as Nashville seeks to regain momentum.
