Catcher Marcus Littlewood singled, and Cribbs stole third base before scoring on an infield single by shortstop Jose Vinicio. Right fielder Tyler Ladendorf hit an RBI single, Robertson walked, and Leyba hit a two-out RBI double, on the same play that Robertson was thrown out between third base and home plate. After the delay, Jackson left-hander Daniel Gibson (1-0) pitched two innings, left-hander Kirby Bellow pitched one, right-hander Kevin Ginkel pitched two, and right-hander Brad Goldberg pitched the ninth inning of the Jackson franchise’s first no-hitter since Dave Manning no-hit Jacksonville, 1-0, on July 22, 1999.

Left-handed pitcher Jeff Kinley was also added to the South Division All-Star Roster Saturday June 9 by the Southern League. Generally Speaking: This is the final of two series between the Jumbo Shrimp and Generals in 2018. The Jumbo Shrimp started the 2018 season at Jackson, losing four out of five games to the Generals at The Ballpark at Jackson. Last season the Jumbo Shrimp and Generals split their five meetings, with Jacksonville winning three of five games in Jacksonville in late May, while the Generals won three of five in late June. The reason for so few meetings? The Jumbo Shrimp and Generals are separated by 713 miles, with typical bus rides lasting between 11 and 13 hours between North Florida and West Tennessee. Shrimp Have Prospects: On the roster, the Jumbo Shrimp have five players who were listed by MLB.com as Top 30 Miami Marlins prospects for the 2018 season: OF Monte Harrison (1), Isan Diaz (7), RHP Nick Neidert (8), RHP Pablo Lopez (21), and John Norwood (30).
