(EDITOR’S NOTE: Although BAHAMAS CHRONICLE has already published daily up-to-date coverage of the Miami Marlins games against the Atlanta Braves over the weekend, this is an excellent, in-depth article by The Nassau Guardian’s Sheldon Longley published on Monday, June 14, that we thought we would share with our readers.)
NASSAU, Bahamas — Culminating the first-ever Bahamian Heritage experience at a Major League Baseball (MLB) park, Jasrado “Jazz” Chisholm Jr. was electrifying as usual, helping the Miami Marlins win their second straight series, taking two out of three against their division rival, the Atlanta Braves, over the weekend.
On Friday, Chisholm and the Marlins prevailed 4-3 at LoanDepot Park, in Miami, Florida. They came back on Saturday, on Bahamian Heritage Night, and won 4-2, before falling 6-4 yesterday.
In the three-game series, Bahamian professional player Chisholm batted 3-for-11 with two RBIs (runs batted in), one extra-base hit and two runs scored. Chisholm drove in the game-winning runs on Friday, set the tone by scoring the first run of the game on Saturday, and had another hit and scored another run on Sunday, but watched as their rally fell short in their attempt to sweep the Braves.
In the National League East Division, Chisholm and the Marlins have a 29-36 win/loss record and sit in fourth – seven games behind the front-running New York Mets (32-25).
Chisholm is now batting .278 on the season, going 44-for-158 with eight home runs, 22 RBIs and 24 runs scored. He has a slash line of .278/.347/.487, nine stolen bases and an on-base, plus slugging percentage (OPS) of .834.
Chisholm remains in contention for the National League Rookie of the Year Award, according to Score Media and Gaming (theScore), a digital media company based in Toronto, Canada.
