BILOXI, MS – A first-inning grand slam from Geraldo Quintero and three ninth-inning runs proved to be the difference in an 8-3 loss for the Biloxi Shuckers (1-7) against the Columbus Clingstones (4-3) on Saturday night at Keesler Federal Park. The game marked the first of three the Shuckers will play as the Biloxi King Cakes in 2025.
The Clingstones took an early advantage after four walks and a double play in the first had the bases loaded with two outs for Geraldo Quintero, who smashed a grand slam to left for a 4-0 lead. The Clingstones made it 5-0 in the fourth with an RBI single from Cal Conley.
In the fifth, the Shuckers struck back with a bases-loaded three RBI double from Eric Brown Jr. off the wall in left-center, making it 5-3. The double, Brown’s third of the season, extended his hit streak to seven consecutive games, the longest by a Shucker this season. The Shuckers threatened in the sixth, seventh and eighth, bringing the tying run to the plate, but the Clingstones bullpen held strong, keeping the game at 5-3. In the ninth, the Clingstones made it 8-3 with an RBI single from Geraldo Quintero and a two-RBI single from Kevin Kilpatrick Jr. Ian Mejia (1-0) earned the win while Nate Peterson (0-2) took the loss. Elison Joseph, who struck out four of the final five outs, picked up his first save of the season.
