Biscuits Dominate Shuckers to Split Series, 11-3

May 28, 2023

BILOXI, MS – The Biscuits (23-22) used a grand slam in the fourth inning to blow the series finale against the Shuckers (23-22) wide open on Sunday night at MGM Park, resulting in the fourth-consecutive series split for the butter and blue.

Montgomery got on the board in the first inning for the second-straight game, this time from an RBI-single by Tristan Peters. Alika Williams reached base on a fielding error two innings later and Ronny Simon scored for the second time to make the score 2-0.

Biloxi struggled early in the field as they recorded the most errors by any Biscuits opponent this season. Four combined fielding errors in the first and third innings played a role in the two runs for Montgomery, but it was only the beginning of a long night for the Shuckers.

After an RBI-single from Ronny Simon in the fourth, Williams barely got the ball over the left field wall for a grand slam. It is the second time a Biscuits player has hit a grand slam this season after Greg Jones hit one on April 16. Williams is also the first Biscuit to record five RBIs in a single game this season, with the next closest being Jones and Heriberto Hernandez at four.

Hernandez extended the lead to 8-0 with an RBI-groundout before Biloxi was able to respond in the bottom of the sixth. Jackson Chourio hit a solo-home run to put the Shuckers on the board. It was Chourio’s first home run since the three-run walk-off shot in the 10th inning of a 6-4 win on May 26.

However, the Biscuits onslaught continued when Hernandez hit a three-run shot of his own to right field. It brought Hernandez up to four RBIs, setting a new season-high and making it five multi-RBI games for the designated hitter.

Biloxi had some momentum in the bottom of the ninth despite being down 11-1 to start the frame, bringing in two runs with the bases loaded. Position player Erik Ostberg took the mound for Montgomery and closed the door on a potential rally to secure the victory and split the series.

Enmanuel Mejia (1-2) earned his first win of the season while TJ Shook (1-1) recorded his first loss. Austin Shenton’s 22-game on-base streak and 6-game hitting streak were both snapped tonight, with the former standing alone as the team-high this season.

The Biscuits will return to Montgomery on Tuesday, May 30 for a six-game series against the Rocket City Trash Pandas. The projected pitching matchup features Mason Montgomery (0-2) for the Biscuits against Landon Marceaux (2-4) for the Trash Pandas.

The series will include a Shirsey T-Shirt Giveaway & Thirsty Thursday on June 1; Bacon Night feat. Bacon Biscuit Bobblehead Giveaway on Friday, June 2; Wizard Night and MAX Fireworks on Saturday, June 3; and a Player Pillow Giveaway presented by Alabama Peanut Producers Association on Sunday, June 4.
