BILOXI, MS – The Biloxi Shuckers (26-17) rode another great start from Tate Kuehner for a 3-1 win over the Knoxville Smokies (20-21) at Keesler Federal Park on Friday night. With the win and a Pensacola Blue Wahoos loss, the Shuckers have opened a three-game lead in the South Division, three weeks after being in last place and five games back. The win also clinched at least a series split for the Shuckers, marking their sixth consecutive series without a loss.
The Smokies started the scoring with a first-inning sacrifice fly from BJ Murray, scoring Jaylen Palmer from third. The Shuckers responded in the bottom half of the inning with back-to-back doubles from Luke Adams and Luis Lara, tying the game at one. They then took a 2-1 lead in the fourth with back-to-back doubles from Zavier Warren and Darrien Miller. The Shuckers scored their final run in the fifth with an RBI groundout to the mound from Cooper Pratt.
On the mound, Tate Kuehner turned in his third straight dominant start, allowing one run over 5.2 innings with six strikeouts. Over his last three starts, Kuehner has allowed one earned run in 16.1 innings with 17 strikeouts. Out of the bullpen, Chase Costello worked around two walks and two hits for 1.1 scoreless innings while Mark Manfredi picked up his first save in Minor League Baseball across two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Kuehner (4-4) earned the win and lowered his ERA to 2.93 while Will Sanders (3-2) took the loss.
Luke Adams (2-for-3) and Luis Lara (2-for-3) reached recorded multi-hit performances for the Shuckers. Lara’s multi-hit performance marked his team-leading 12th of the season and raised his average to .252, second among qualified hitters on the Shuckers. Both Luis Lara and Garrett Spain recorded outfield assists in the win.
