BILOXI, MS - The Biloxi Shuckers (1-1) fell for the first time in 2026 in a five-run loss to the Rocket City Trash Pandas (1-1), 9-4, at Toyota Field on Saturday night.

The Shuckers struck first after a broken bat opposite field RBI single by Damon Keith, but that was the last time the squad would lead all night. Then the Trash Pandas poured on three runs in each of their first two innings. It all began with an RBI single from Tucker Flint to center which tied the game, immediately followed by a two-RBI triple by Ben Gobbel, which gave Rocket City a lead it would never relinquish. In the second, a throwing error by Mike Boeve, a Nick Rodriguez RBI single, and Harold Coll RBI double ballooned the lead to 6-1. The next three Trash Pandas runs scored via home runs with a 424 foot 2-run shot off the bat of Gustavo Campero at 105 mph in the fourth, and a 420 foot solo homer from Tucker Flint in the fifth to inflate the Rocket City lead up to eight. The Shuckers would score three runs over the next two innings courtesy of an RBI-double by Jacob Hurtubise in the sixth, and an RBI-walk by Jordyn Adams to go along with a sacrifice fly by Hurtubise in the seventh.

Despite the loss, Damon Keith (2-for-3) and Darrien Miller (2-for-4) each picked up multi-hit performances. Jacob Hurtabise (1-for-2) also reached base in four of his five plate appearances.

Eybersson Polanco (1-0) picked up the win with Bishop Letson (0-1) being handed the loss.
