JACKSONVILLE, Florida – In a game that didn’t start until just after 9 p.m. due to a two-hour, 29-minute rain delay, the Gwinnett Stripers (35-33) lost 3-2 to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (37-31) in eight innings on Saturday night at VyStar Ballpark. Rehabbing Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin tied the game with a solo home run in the sixth, and Owen Murphy struck out 10 over 6.0 innings in a no-decision.

Decisive Plays: Graham Pauley’s RBI double opened a 1-0 lead for Jacksonville in the first inning, but Gwinnett tied it up at 1-1 in the fourth on a two-out RBI single by Jose Azocar. That score held until the bottom of the fifth, when a pair of Stripers errors led to Johnny Olmstead reaching and scoring for a 2-1 Jumbo Shrimp lead. In the sixth, Baldwin hammered a solo home run (1) to the bleacher seats in right field to tie it at 2-2. The game went to extra innings, and after the Stripers failed to score in the top of the eighth, Jacksonville walked it off on a sacrifice fly by Jacob Berry.

Noteworthy: Baldwin’s solo homer was the 14th of his Gwinnett career, first since September 12, 2024 vs. Buffalo. Murphy’s 10 strikeouts tied his season high set with Double-A Columbus on April 3 vs. Chattanooga. Stripers’ manager Kanekoa Texeira was ejected in the fifth inning by first base umpire Nathan Diederich, his first ejection this season.
