Two batters later, the Lookouts were able to get him in on a RBI single off the bat of Ryan Walked as they took a 1-0 lead. - Facts and Figures: With the two errors committed by the Barons in the seventh inning, they're now at 58 errors on the season, making them the number one team in the Southern League in this category. Biloxi trails with 57 misplays.
- By the Numbers: Barons starter Tomshaw (L, 0-3) notched a quality start in the loss, pitching seven innings with just five hits against and four strikeouts. However, the unearned run in in the seventh left him on the wrong side of the decision.
