BILOXI, MS - Led by Darrien Miller's two-hit, four-RBI night and a five-run eighth inning, the Biloxi Shuckers (9-10) earned their eighth win over their last 11, 8-6, over the Montgomery Biscuits (10-8) at Keesler Federal Park on Friday night. Over their last 11 games, the Shuckers have outscored opponents 59-35, a plus-24 run differential.

The Biscuits struck first with a sacrifice fly from Colton Ledbetter in the first, scoring Homer Bush Jr. from third. They extended the lead to 2-0 in the third with an RBI single from Will Simpson, but Shuckers' starter Abdiel Mendoza held the Biscuits scoreless over the rest of his five-inning start. He worked around eight hits and two walks, allowing just two runs.

In the bottom of the fourth, Brock Wilken got the Shuckers on the board with a solo home run to left, his third of the season. Later in the inning, Darrien Miller gave the Shuckers their first lead of the day, 3-2, with a two-run shot to left. The game remained 3-2 until the seventh, when Cooper Kinney lifted a home run to left-center that tied the game. The Biscuits took a 6-3 lead in the eighth with a wild pitch and a two-RBI triple from Homer Bush Jr.

The Shuckers struck back in the bottom of the eighth when catcher's interference extended the inning and loaded the bases with two outs. A passed ball made it 6-4 before Darrien Miller tied the game with a two-RBI single into left. Ethan Murray then gave the Shuckers an 8-6 lead with a two-RBI triple to right-center. In the ninth, Justin Yeager locked down his second save of the season with a looking strikeout. Tyler Bryant (1-1) earned the win while Dan Hammer (1-1) took the loss.
