BILOXI, MS– The Biloxi Shuckers (32-30) were upended by the Columbus Clingstones (29-32), 9-4 on Wednesday night at Keesler Federal Park. A pair of Shuckers made their Double-A debuts, with Josh Adamczewski (1-for-5) and Andrew Fischer (1-for-4) each recording their first hit, extra-base hit and RBI in Biloxi.
The Shuckers struck first in the bottom of the second on the third pitch Andrew Fischer saw as a Double-A slugger and belted a 103 mph, 387 feet home run. The Clingstones tied the game in the third on a RBI-single by David McCabe. Columbus collected three more runs in the fifth with two homers in the frame from Kevin Kilpatrick Jr. and a two-run shot by McCabe. Josh Adamczewski cut the deficit in half with his first Double-A hit which resulted in a RBI-double in the fifth before a Jesús Made RBI-groundout brought the game within a run. The Clingstones scored four runs over the next three innings, thanks to a Logan Braunschweig sacrifice fly in the sixth, RBI-doubles from Patrick Clohisy and David McCabe in the seventh, and a Clohisy run-scoring single in the eighth. Mike Boeve came home to score on a wild pitch in the eighth, but Columbus countered with an Archer Brookman solo homer in the ninth.
Eric Brown Jr. (3-for-4) posted his second three-hit performance of the season.
