Luis Moreno started for Pensacola. He cruised through the first three innings until the fourth, when he gave up a solo home run to Matthew Wood. Besides that, he didn’t face any bumps until the sixth, when he allowed a solo home run to Andrew Fischer.

Luiz Moreno's start comes to an end. His final line:

Fischer’s home run was his 47th this season, the most by a minor leaguer since Ryan Howard had 46 in 2004. Moreno lasted six innings on the mound, allowing five hits, two runs, and a walk while striking out five. His ERA dropped from 7.36 to 7.07.

The Blue Wahoos bounced back with a pair of runs in the fifth, thanks to Williams going yard with a two-run 439-foot homer. It was the fifth time this season in just six games that he hit a home run for Pensacola.

In the eighth inning, the Blue Wahoos again added a pair of runs to their 5-2 lead. After Cristian Hernandez and Payton Green both stole a base, a bad throw from Biloxi behind the plate caused Hernandez to score. Then, Dylan Jasso singled to bring Green home, making it 7-2.

Nigel Belgrave earned the save after retiring all nine batters he faced. He pitched for three innings and got three strikeouts.
