BILOXI, MS – Despite an early lead for the Biloxi Shuckers (18-22), the Birmingham Barons (25-14) scored six of the game’s final seven runs in a 6-2 loss for the Shuckers at Shuckers Ballpark on Tuesday night.
In the first, Shuckers’ starter Nate Peterson struck out the side, including a strikeout against the Southern League batting leader, Brooks Baldwin. The Shuckers crowded the bases early in the bottom of the inning with two walks and a single, loading the bases with one out. With one out, Darrien Miller flew out to deep left, scoring Mike Boeve from third, who reached earlier on a walk.
In the next half inning, Edgar Quero quickly tied the game at one with a solo blast to left for his seventh home run of the season, tied for the most in the Southern League. Later in the inning, Jason Matthews blasted his first home run of the season to left, a two-run shot, to extend the lead to 3-1. In the fourth, Birmingham extended the lead to 4-1 with an RBI single from Jacob Gonzalez.
The Shuckers got a run back in the fifth with an RBI single from Mike Boeve, extending his hit streak to three straight games, but a two-RBI single from Duke Ellis in the sixth extended the lead to 6-2 for Birmingham.
Out of the bullpen, Shuckers’ lefty Justin King struck out three in two scoreless innings and Blake Holub struck out two in his Shuckers’ debut. Mike Boeve walked twice and tallied a single, reaching base three times and raising his on-base percentage to .378, sixth-best in the Southern League. Carlos Rodriguez reached base twice with two walks, improving his OBP to .398, third-best in the league.
Jake Eder (1-1) earned the win for Birmingham after he tied his career-high with six innings. Nate Peterson (1-3) took the loss for Biloxi.
