Season’s second week challenges Jacksonville Suns

The Miami Marlins Double-A affiliate Jacksonville Suns began the season with a sizzling 5-1 start, however since our last report the Suns have gone 1-6 and are now under .500 at 6-7.

The hitters are having a tough time getting going at the plate, with Jacksonville’s team batting average at .203, which is next-to-last in the Southern League.

After winning the first two games against the Montgomery Biscuits (Tampa Bay Rays) last week, the Suns lost the next three games to drop the series. In this series against the Biloxi Shuckers (Milwaukee Brewers), the Suns have lost three of the first four games for a second straight series loss.
