Biloxi Shuckers News Release
KODAK, TN - In a game that went scoreless into the ninth, former Biloxi Shuckers' outfielder Hayden Cantrelle delivered a walk-off RBI single for the Tennessee Smokies (15-11) in a 1-0 loss for the Shuckers (13-14) at Smokies Stadium on Sunday afternoon. With the one-run game in the finale, each of the six games in the series were decided by two runs or less, including 10 of the 12 games during the Shuckers' road trip.
Shuckers' starter Jacob Misirowoski starred in his third start of the road trip after he worked around three walks in the first with two strikeouts, keeping the Smokies off the board. After the inning, struck out the side in the second on 12 pitches and added another strikeout in the third, giving him five through three innings. In the fourth, Moises Ballesteros and Luis Verdugo both singled for the Smokies, but Misiorowski ended the threat with a groundout, strikeout and flyout to center. In the fifth, he set a new season-high with a strikeout of Kevin Alcántara, his eighth of the day.
In relief, Kaleb Bowman continued his success after three shutout innings on Thursday, tossing two scoreless with a strikeout.
In the ninth, Verdugo and Haydn McGeary both doubled to put runners on second and third with one out before Cantrell's single to the wall in right gave the Smokies a walk-off win. Frankie Scalzo Jr. (1-0) took the win while Justin Yeager (0-3) took the loss for Biloxi. The Smokies staff limited Biloxi to one hit despite the Shuckers' tying their season-high with eight walks on the afternoon.
After an off-day on Monday, the Shuckers return home for a six-game set with the Montgomery Biscuits on Tuesday at Shuckers Ballpark.
