BILOXI, MS – A furious ninth-inning comeback came up 90 feet short as the Biloxi Shuckers (49-32, 7-5) fell to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (41-39, 7-4), 4-3, at Keesler Federal Park on Sunday evening.
Pensacola struck first in the top of the first inning with a solo home run from Michael Snyder on the fourth pitch of the game, making it 1-0. The Shuckers answered in the second with a solo home run of their own, coming from Darrien Miller to left. The home run marked Miller’s second consecutive game with a home run and the fourth home run hit by a Shuckers left-handed batter against a left-handed pitcher at Keesler Federal Park since 2022. The Blue Wahoos retook the lead in the fifth when a wild pitch scored Cody Morissette to third, making it 2-1. Garrett Spain then tied the game in the fifth with a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Adam Hall from third. In the sixth, a sacrifice fly from Cody Morissette and an RBI single from Ryan Ignaffo made it 4-2 Pensacola. The Shuckers made it a one-run game in the ninth with a sacrifice fly from Bladimir Restituyo, but the tying run was thrown out at third later in the inning, ending the game.
Dax Fulton (4-6) earned the win while K.C. Hunt (4-5) took the loss and Evan Fitterer picked up his first save of the season. Luis Lara (3-for-5) recorded the Shuckers’ lone multi-hit performance of the game, his 22nd multi-hit game of the season.
