MONTGOMERY, AL - The Biloxi Shuckers (66-55, 24-28) had their four-game win streak snapped by the Montgomery Biscuits (66-55, 28-24) in a 2-1 loss at Riverwalk Stadium on Tuesday night. Despite the loss, K.C. Hunt starred with a season-high seven shutout innings and one hit allowed, becoming just the second Shuckers pitcher to achieve those marks in a start since 2019. With the start, Hunt has now allowed four runs over 24.0 innings, a 1.50 ERA, with 26 strikeouts across four career starts at Riverwalk Stadium.

The Shuckers scored their lone run in the fifth inning off an RBI single from Hedbert Perez, scoring Eduardo Garcia from second. The hit and RBI marked Perez's first at the Double-A level after joining the Shuckers last Tuesday. The game remained at 1-0 until the eighth inning, when the Biscuits took the lead on a bases-loaded RBI walk from Brock Jones and a sacrifice fly to right from Colton Ledbetter. Jackson Lancaster (3-1) earned the win while Zach Peek (5-2) took the loss for the Shuckers.

At the plate, Cooper Pratt (2-for-4) extended his on-base streak to 12 games while Hedbert Perez (2-for-4) picked up his first Double-A multi-hit performance. Brock Wilken (1-for-3) also reached twice in his return to the lineup for the first time since June 18.
