BILOXI, MS – The Biloxi Shuckers (12-11) fell to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (9-14), 12-4, at Blue Wahoos Stadium on Wednesday night. Despite the loss, Damon Keith continued his hot streak, extending his hit streak to consecutive games with a two-RBI single. During the streak, Keith is hitting .333 (9-for-27) with three doubles, two home runs and six RBI.

Keith’s two-RBI single in the first game gave the Shuckers an early lead before the Blue Wahoos tied the game in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single from Ryan Ignoffo and a balk that allowed Fenwick Trimble to score from third. The Blue Wahoos took the lead in the bottom of the second with a solo home run to left-center from Emaarion Boyd and Gage Miller made it 4-2 in the fourth with an RBI single. In the fifth, the Shuckers made it 4-3 with an RBI bases-loaded walk to Mike Boeve.
