BILOXI, MS – The Biloxi Shuckers were held to one hit by the Pensacola Blue Wahoos in a 7-1 loss on Saturday night at MGM Park despite another strong start from starter Carlos Rodriguez.

In his first home start with Biloxi, Rodriguez limited Pensacola to one run over five innings, going toe-to-toe with Blue Wahoos starter Patrick Monteverde. Monteverde held the Shuckers to one hit over seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts.

Pensacola started the scoring with a run in the third after a two-out triple from J.D. Orr and an RBI single José Devers. Rodriguez limited the damage over the next two innings, stranding three baserunners with two strikeouts.

In the sixth, the Blue Wahoos offense exploded with a two-run home run from Paul McIntosh, his third of the year, to make it 3-0. One inning later, an error brought home Devers before a two-run home run from Joe Rizzo gave the Blue Wahoos a commanding 6-0 lead.

The Blue Wahoos brought another run home in the ninth off when Dane Myers drove in a run on a groundout. The Shuckers responded with a run thanks to an error and three walks, including an RBI walk from Zavier Warren.

Rodriguez (0-1) took the loss for Biloxi while Monteverde (1-0) secured the win.

The two teams are set to meet for the series finale on Sunday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. The game marks the first Sunday Fun Day game of the year with a team poster giveaway presented by Mele Printing.
