JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Lewin Díaz’s double in the ninth inning Monday gave the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp a 1-0 win over the Norfolk Tides in front of 8,902 fans from 121 Financial Ballpark.

With the game scoreless through eight innings, Willians Astudillo led off the ninth with a single off Norfolk (38-41) reliever Logan Gillaspie (3-2) before being replaced by pinch-runner Bryson Brigman. Díaz then blasted a ball off the wall in right-center to score Brigman for the Jumbo Shrimp’s (43-36) third walk-off win of the season.

Until Díaz’s walk-off double, neither side was able to get a runner even to third base all evening. Elieser Hernández fanned a season-high nine batters in 5.0 innings of two-hit ball before giving way to Huascar Brazoban, who struck out four in 2.1 frames. Andrew Nardi (3-0) was perfect in his 1.2 innings, punching out three batters.

Afrer an off day on Tuesday, Jacksonville hosts Norfolk in Wednesday’s 12:05 p.m. contest. LHP Matthew Kent (4-5, 5.14 ERA) starts for the Jumbo Shrimp against Tides LHP DL Hall (1-3, 4.68 ERA). Coverage begins at 11:50 a.m. on ESPN 690, ESPN690.com and MiLB.tv.
