Tyson Hardin’s Career-High in K’s Secures Third Straight Shuckers Win

BILOXI, MS– The Biloxi Shuckers (10-8) won the first three games of a series for the second time this season with a 9-5 triumph over the Rocket City Trash Pandas (7-11). Shuckers starter Tyson Hardin highlighted the night tying his career-high with 9 strikeouts.

One of two Mike Boeve doubles broke the seal on the scoreboard to give the Shuckers an early 2-0 lead in the first. In the fourth, Gustavo Campero and Tucker Flint tied the contest after coming around to score on an error by Jheremy Vargas. That was followed by a four-run explosion in the home half of the fourth, with Mark Coley II collecting his first RBIs in a Shuckers uniform with a single a Jheremy Vargas RBI-double, and a Jesús Made RBI-base knock. Mike Boeve brought another run home with a base hit in the seventh to make it 7-2. A Harold Call two-run triple cut into the cushion to come within three runs. The Shuckers would get some insurance in the eighth when Jheremy Vargas sped home to score on a passed ball and another Jesús Made RBI-single made it 9-4. Gustavo Campero scored the fifth run for Rocket City on a groundout by Ben Gobbel in the ninth.

Mike Boeve (3-for-4, 3 rbi) and Jesús Made (3-for-4, 2 rbi) led the way with multi-RBI days. Dylan O’Rae (17) and Blake Burke (18) each extended their on-base streaks as well.
