CHATTANOOGA, TN– The Biloxi Shuckers (49-38, 14-8) pitching staff shined in its first game in franchise history at Erlanger Park against the Chattanooga Lookouts (46-45, 9-13), with a one-hit, 5-0 shutout on Tuesday night. Manuel Rodriguez (6.0ip, 0h, 0r, 6k), Nick Merkel (1.1ip, 0h, 0r) and Jesús Broca (0.2ip, 0h, 0r) no-hit the Lookouts through eight full innings, before Carter Graham got a leadoff single in the ninth.
The Shuckers scored in four straight frames between the fourth and seventh, beginning with a Matthew Wood sacrifice fly in the fourth. In the fifth, Dylan O’Rae stole third and scored on a throwing error by Alfredo Duno. Josh Adamczewski added on in the sixth with his fourth home run of the season 422 feet, 103 mph off the bat. Mark Coley II collected a solo homer of his own in the seventh on the first pitch of the inning, with a 461 foot, 103 mph moonshot. That marked the second longest long bomb by a Shucker this season. An Andrew Fischer sacrifice fly would make it a multi-run inning in the seventh for Biloxi.
Josh Adamczewski (2-for-3) and Blake Burke (2-for-4) put up a pair of multi-hit evenings. Josiah Ragsdale also concluded his on-base streak of 14, which spanned every game at the Double-A level so far.
Manuel Rodriguez (10-3) became the ninth pitcher in Shuckers franchise history with 10 wins, with Jared Lyons getting the loss. In addition to Rodiguez, Merkel and Broca, Will Childers (1.0ip, 0r) pitched a scoreless ninth out of the Biloxi bullpen.
