BILOXI, MS – Bradley Blalock continued his dominant start to the 2024 season with six shutout innings, extending his shutout streak to 17 consecutive innings and leading the Biloxi Shuckers (8-4) to a 4-0 shutout win over the Chattanooga Lookouts (3-8) at Shuckers Ballpark on Thursday night. The win was Biloxi’s sixth straight and the pitching staff lowered their team ERA to 1.81 in the shutout win. The staff also needed 98 pitches to complete the shutout, the lowest total for the Shuckers staff since August 25, 2023, against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos and the second time the staff had under 100 pitches in a nine-inning game since the start of the 2021 season.
Blalock started at a torrid pace, retiring the first six batters before using a double play and flout to strand a lead-off walk in the third.
At the plate, Biloxi scored first in the third after Ethan Murray walked and was moved to third on a groundout and Zavier Warren single. Freddy Zamora then lifted a ball into short left-center that scored Murray from third with a sacrifice fly, giving Biloxi a 1-0 lead. In the fifth, Ernesto Martinez Jr. lifted a 449-foot, two-run home run to right-center that cleared the splash pad, giving Biloxi a 3-0 lead.
Blalock finished his night after six scoreless innings and 63 pitches. The Shuckers’ bullpen then continued their run of dominance with three perfect innings. Sam Gardner tossed scoreless innings with five strikeouts and Justin King tossed a scoreless ninth with two strikeouts. Over the six-game win streak, the Shuckers bullpen has a Double-A best 0.36 ERA, allowing one earned run in 25.0 innings.
Blalock (3-0) earned the win while Benschoter (0-2) took the loss for Chattanooga.
