Made Walks Off Barons For Third Time, Torres Deals in Double-A Debut

BILOXI, MS – The Biloxi Shuckers (61-63, 26-33) walked off the Birmingham Barons (55-73, 29-30) for the third time this season at Keesler Federal Park on Wednesday Night, 6-5. All three of Biloxi’s game winning hits against Birmingham have come off the bat of Jesús Made. Wande Torres (5.0ip, 0r, 3k) also dazzled in his Double-A debut, twirling five shutout innings out of the bullpen. That ties the longest outing by a Shuckers reliever this season.

The Shuckers strung together a pair of runs in the first after a sacrifice fly by Jesús Made and a solo homer from Josh Adamczewski, off the bat at 103 mph, going 382 feet. The Barons collected a big inning in the third thanks to a Jorge Corona leadoff bomb, a Dylan Campbell RBI double and a Caleb Bonemer sacrifice fly to take a 3-2 lead. Birmingham brought two more runs home in the fifth on a second Corona round tripper and an RBI base knock by Caleb Bonomer. Damon Keith cut the deficit to 5-3 with a 116 mph, 434 foot laser home run in the fifth. That tied the hardest-hit ball by a Shucker this season and represented Keith's second off the bat at 115 or more. Andrew Fischer made it a one-run game in the sixth with a sacrifice fly. Biloxi was down to its final strike in the ninth, but Damon Keith came through with a game-tying RBI single and Made sent the Shuckers faithful home happy with the walk-off base hit in the 10^th.

Both Damon Keith (2-for-4) and Jesús Made (2-for-4) tallied multiple hits and RBIs in the Shuckers comeback victory. That marks Made’s Southern-League high 33^rd multi-hit contest of the season.

Wande Torres (1-0) herculean effort was rewarded with his first win in Double-A, while Jonathan Clark collected the loss. Manuel Rodriguez (5.0ip, 4k) recorded his 11^th consecutive quality start as well.
