Norfolk entered the ninth against Jacksonville with a 2-0 lead, but things fell apart at that point. Dean Kremer started the inning and allowed one run before ceding the mound to Fernando Abad with two men on base. Abad surrendered a two-run double — with both runs charged to Kremer — giving the Jumbo Shrimp a walk-off win.
Michael Baumann continued his run of strong starts for Norfolk with six scoreless innings last night. In fact, he only allowed one hit and a pair of walks while striking out six batters. The right-hander’s ERA is now a minuscule 1.
