BILOXI, MS– The Biloxi Shuckers (28-24) scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh to stamp a 3-1 triumph against the Montgomery Biscuits (28-25). Dylan O’Rae mashed his second home run of the season, and just the third of his Double-A career to ultimately secure a series split.
The Biscuits scored their first and only run of the ballgame on a Will Simpson RBI-base knock in the first. Matthew Wood would deadlock the contest at one with a solo shot in the fourth, on a 398 foot home run, off the bat at 98 mph. Then in the aforementioned seventh inning, Dylan O’Rae connected on the first pitch from Montgomery reliever Derrick Edington with two outs for a two-run go-ahead homer, which traveled 377 feet at 98 mph.
Matthew Wood (2-for-4) put together the lone multi-hit contest for the Shuckers, extending his on-base streak to 16 straight games.
Shuckers starter Yorman Galindez (4.0ip, 1r, 3k) pitched a season-long four frames in his second Double-A start. The Biloxi bullpen was spotless as well with the winning pitcher, Anthony Flores (3.0ip, 0r, 2k) and Stiven Cruz (2.0ip, 0r, 3k), who recorded his first save of the season, each allowing no runs.
Gary Gill Hill was on the downside of the contest for the Biscuits, despite throwing a career-high 97 pitches over 6.2 innings.
The Shuckers hunt for the series victory on Saturday evening when they host the Biscuits on Star Wars Night at Keesler Federal Park. The first 1,000 fans will also receive a Grogu Brewers and Star Wars-themed bobblehead presented by Colonial Trailways! Fans are also encouraged to dress in costumes for the night.

Proceeds from the auction will support Gulfport High School's Team Fusion Robotics Club, helping in their efforts to provide 3D-printed prosthetic limbs for amputees throughout Central and Latin America as part of the Step Forward project. Jaron DeBerry (4-3, 4.84) will begin on the bump for Biloxi and battle against Jackson Baumeister (1-2, 5.72) for Montgomery.
