More from Tomahawk Take

Thursday

Jacksonville hit starter Andrew Thurman hard and the offense didn’t show up until late as Mississippi lost 9-4. Thurman went 3 innings, allowing 5 runs on 8 hits and a walk, striking out 1. Ozzie Albies had two singles and a double with a walk. Sean Godfrey had a single and a double. Carlos Franco had two singles. Dustin Peterson had a double and a walk. Jake Schrader had a double.

Friday

Mississippi used a 4-run 3rd inning to defeat Jacksonville 5-4. Starter Chris Ellis went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks with 5 strikeouts. Sean Godfrey had two singles. Chris Ellis actually had two hits as well. Ozzie Albies walked twice. Willians Astudillo had a double and 3 RBI, but he did end one of the more remarkable streaks in all of baseball as he struck out for the first time since July of 2015, a streak of over 150 plate appearances.

Saturday

Mississippi defeated Jacksonville with a solid late-game comeback 3-2. Sean Newcomb got the start and went 5 1/3 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits and 3 walks, striking out 5. Dansby Swanson had a monster game in his first game in Mississippi, knocking out a double and a home run, driving in all 3 Mississippi runs. Matt Lipka had a single and double and walked. Sean Godfrey hit a double.

Sunday

Mississippi starter Rob Whalen got to the 6th inning scoreless, but he ran into trouble in the inning, allowing all the runs Jacksonville needed to defeat the M-Braves 3-1. Whalen totaled 5 1/3 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks, striking out 3. Whalen didn’t allow a single extra base hit in the start. No M-Braves hitter reached base multiple times in the game. In fact, Whalen had the big hit of the day in his own backing, smacking a double and scoring the Braves’ only run. Emerson Landoni also doubled.
