Biloxi, Miss.– The Pensacola Blue Wahoos got another solid start from Cody Mincey, but couldn't get the bats going in a 2-0 to the Biloxi Shuckers on Wednesday night.
A two-run homer from Joey Wiemer in the first inning gave Biloxi an early lead, and Shuckers starter Tyler Herb (W, 2-1) struck out eight over 6.0 scoreless innings as he kept the Blue Wahoos at bay.
Mincey (L, 0-1) recovered to complete 5.0 innings on only 70 pitches, but the early home run was too much to overcome.
Pensacola got a pair of singles from Luis Aviles, Jr., a single from Troy Johnston and a double from Griffin Conine in their second shutout loss of the season. A trio of lefty relievers - Josh Simpson, Andrew Nardi and Jefry Yan - struck out five Biloxi batters over 3.0 scoreless innings for the Blue Wahoos. Robbie Hitt (S, 1) worked a tidy ninth to earn the save.
The game was played in 2:05, the fastest game for the Blue Wahoos this season.
