Ayden Phillips<\/a> also struck out the side once again in his inning of work, while Scout Updike<\/a> closed the night on the mound for the Dolphins.<\/p>\n Jacksonville finished the night with nine hits, with six different Dolphins recording a hit.<\/p>\n Lineup for the Dolphins tonight ->\u00a0<\/p>\n Some Monday Madness ??#JUPhinsUp<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/FRHRlwhGzH<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jacksonville Baseball (@JUBaseball) March 9, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n
