MONTGOMERY, AL - In a doubleheader that saw both games decided by two runs or less, the Biloxi Shuckers (66-59, 24-32) were swept by the Montgomery Biscutis (70-55, 32-24) on Saturday night at Riverwalk Stadium. The Shuckers fell 5-3 in eight innings in game one before a 3-1 defeat in game two. Despite the loss, Blake Burke extended his hot streak with four hits, a home run and three RBI across the doubleheader. Burke's 23 RBI in August mark the third-most in a month in franchise history, while his seven home runs are tied for the sixth-most in a month.

In game one, Will Simpson got the Biscuits on the board first with a solo home run to left in the fourth inning. The Shuckers struck back and tied the game in the fifth when Cooper Pratt singled to third and a throwing error on the play brought home Bladimir Restituyo from second. Two batters late, Blake Burke doubled to left-center and brought home two, making it 3-1. The Biscuits then tied the game in the bottom of the inning with a two-run home run to left-center from Kenny Piper. The game remained tied at three until the eighth when Will Simpson struck again with a walk-off two-run home run to left, making it 5-3. Derrick Edgington (2-2) earned the win while Travis MacGregor (0-2) took the loss.

Blake Burke continued to shine in game two with a solo home run down the right field in the fourth inning, giving the Shuckers a 1-0 lead. The Biscuits, however, took a 2-1 lead in the sixth on a single to short from Gregory Barrios and a throwing error to third on the play, allowing Jadher Areinamo to scamper home from third. The Biscuits made it 3-1 later in the inning with a sacrifice fly to center from Brock Jones, scoring Brayden Taylor from third. Antonio Menendez (2-0) earned the win while Alexander Cornielle (5-8) took the loss despite allowing one earned run over 5.1 innings with six strikeouts.

At the plate, Blake Burke (G1: 2-for-4, G2: 2-for-3), Matthew Wood (G1: 2-for-3) and Bladimir Restituyo (G1: 2-for-3) each recorded multi-hit performances during the doubleheader.
