BILOXI, MS– The Biloxi Shuckers (12-10) used a four-run eighth inning to propel them over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos 7-2 on Tuesday night. The Shuckers scored five unanswered runs over the final two frames to secure the win.

It all began with a Blake Burke RBI-groundout in the third, which would be countered by a Fenwick Trimble RBI-single in the home half.

Ian Lewis Jr. brought it back to tie game for the Blue Wahoos with his first homer of the year in the seventh. It took one pitch for the Shuckers to pounce in the aforementioned eighth inning with a 386 foot, 104 mph Damon Keith dinger, with Eduardo Garcia and Dasan Brown coming home to score on wild pitches, capped off by a Jheremy Vargas RBI-base hit. Eduardo Garcia got in on the fun with an RBI-single of his own in the ninth.

Jheremy Vargas had the lone multi-hit performance for the Shuckers, with Blake Burke being the only player to drive in two runs as well.

Jesus Broca (1-1) got the win, with Stiven Cruz (1.0ip, 2k) and Mark Manfredi Sr. (1.0ip, 2k) delivering shutout performances out of the bullpen. The starter Bishop Letson also hurled a season-high five frames, striking out six batters in that span. Colby Martin took the loss for the Blue Wahoos.
