BILOXI, MS - A Blake Burke grand slam powered the Biloxi Shuckers (70-62, 28-35) to a 4-1 win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (65-67, 31-32) on Sunday in the final home game of the regular season at Keesler Federal Park. With the win, the Shuckers recorded their 42nd of the year at home, the third-most in franchise history and clinched a winning record for the seventh time in franchise history.

An error with the bases loaded in the fourth inning scored the Blue Wahoos only run of the game, giving them a 1-0 lead. The Shuckers then took a 4-1 lead in the fifth with a grand slam from Blake Burke, his second of the season. Jesús Broca (1-1) earned the win after three perfect relief innings with four strikeouts, while Jacob Miller (3-7) took the loss for Pensacola. Austin Roberts also recorded his first save in the Brewers organization, retiring four straight batters to end the game. Roberts became the 13th different Shuckers pitcher to record a save this season, setting a new single-season franchise record.

At the plate, Blake Burke (2-for-4), Mike Boeve (2-for-4) and Bladimir Restituyo (3-for-3) each recorded multi-hit efforts for the Shuckers.
