Mike Jacobs Ninth Inning Homer Gives Marlins Win In Series Opener With Pirates

by @ 6:47 pm. Filed under 2008 Marlins, Josh Willingham

It came down to the final at bat but Mike Jacobs belted a walk off solo homer in the bottom of the ninth as the Marlins beat the Pirates 5-4.  It capped off a three for five night in which Jacobs scored three times.  Hanley Ramirez picked up three hits while Josh Willingham came through with a single, a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.

Scott Olsen had a rough start and he gave up four runs in six innings but the pen did their job.  Kevin Gregg finished it up with a shutout ninth inning and he improved to 1-0 on the season.

Mark Hendrickson gets the nod tomorrow.  He was bombed in the Marlins opener against the Mets earlier this week.
