Warren's 10th Inning Double Lifts Shuckers to Extra-Innings Win

COLUMBUS, GA – A two-out, two-run double from Zavier Warren proved to be the difference in a 5-3 win for the Biloxi Shuckers (43-28) over the Columbus Clingstones (27-41) at Synovus Park on Wednesday night.

The Shuckers opened the scoring in the fourth when a two-run home run to right from Cooper Pratt, his fifth of the season, gave them a 2-0 lead. Drew Compton cut into the lead with a sacrifice fly to right in the fifth, scoring Kobe Kato from third. Later in the inning, Ethan Workinger smashed a two-run home run to left, his seventh of the season against the Shuckers, and made it 3-2.
