Blue Wahoos Show Postseason Dynamics in Win Over Shuckers

Jacob Miller had a rough outing, allowing Biloxi’s first five base runners to reach base. The Shuckers had themselves a three-run inning in the opening frame before Pensacola recorded its first hit. The Blue Wahoos loaded up the bases in the first inning but scored just one run on a sac fly from Marlins prospect Max Williams.

He tossed two innings, allowing two hits and two walks on three strikeouts. In the bottom of the fourth, Ethan O’Donnell hit a two-run double for Pensacola, making it 5-3.

The Blue Wahoos changed the game’s outcome for good in the sixth inning. Williams started the inning with a solo homer, his fourth one with the Wahoos in as many games. With the bases loaded, Dylan Jasso grounded into a force out, but an infield error led to two runs, giving Pensacola a 6-5 lead.
