J.T. Ginn Throws Seven Scoreless Innings; Tanner Murphy and Zack Ashford Take Care of the Rest
Making his ninth start for the Cyclones, right-hander J.T. Ginn is opposed by Noah Skirrow for Jersey Shore.
After dueling through three scoreless innings, Brooklyn strikes for three runs in the fourth; with two outs and the bases loaded, right fielder Tanner Murphy doubles to left field, sending everybody home.
Then again, with two outs in the fifth, left fielder Zack Ashford triples home Wilmer Reyes and Francisco Alvarez for a 5-0- lead.
Meanwhile, J.T. Ginn twirls a gem. He allows just two hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over seven innings pitched. He faces 24 batters while throwing 79 pitches, with a stellar (57) 72.1% going for strikes.
In his third appearance for Brooklyn, right-hander Nolan Clenney checks all the boxes, a walk, single, wild pitch, fielder's choice, and a sacrifice fly resulting in two Jersey Shore runs. Called upon to pitch the ninth, Hunter Parsons hits a batter and strikeouts out three to close out Brooklyn's series-opening win over the Blue Claws. J.T. Ginn evens his record at 3-3 and gets his ERA back under four with a 3.42 mark through 47.1 innings pitched.
In support of Ginn, the Cyclones batted 3 for 7 with runners in scoring position while all five runs were driven home with two outs. And wouldn't you know, Coney Island drew five walks and struck out only six times. In turn, Cyclone pitchers strike out ten while giving up just two hits and issuing two walks.
As they say in from of the ballpark: Amazin' Starts Here! BOXSCORE
