The Rochester Red Wings made it two straight against the first-half International League champion Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on Wednesday, taking a 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth on a two-run Christian Franklin<\/a><\/strong> single and then holding the lead in the bottom half.<\/p>\n

The two-out, bases-loaded grounder up the middle from the right fielder capped a back-and-forth night between the Wings and the Marlins AAA affiliate. Rochester had earlier taken a 2-0 lead with runs in the first and second, only to see Jacksonville tie it up in the bottom of the second. The Shrimp then took the lead on a Matthew Etzel<\/a><\/strong> homer in the third, 3-2.<\/p>\n

Rochester would give chase to Jacksonville for much of the rest of the game, but each time they\u2019d score- in the fifth and eighth- Jacksonville would claw back to the lead again. It was only in the ninth that Rochester got ahead for good, loading the bases before Franklin\u2019s game-winner.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Salazar<\/a><\/strong> had some trouble in the ninth, allowing the tying run to reach second on a double, but was able to strike out Jack Winkler<\/a><\/strong> to end the game and earn the save, his fourth of the season.<\/p>\n

Rochester was led offensively by Franklin (2-for-5, three RBI), left fielder Darren Baker<\/a><\/strong> (2-for-3, two runs scored, stolen base), and first baseman Yohandy Morales<\/a><\/strong> (2-for-4, double, two RBI). Catcher Francisco Mejia<\/a><\/strong> homered, his fourth with the Wings. Julian Fernandez<\/a><\/strong> earned his first Red Wings win in relief to move to 1-1 on the season.<\/p>\n

The Wings return to action on Thursday in Jacksonville at 7:05 p.m.<\/p>\n
