BILOXI, MS - Behind six shutout innings from starter Carlos Rodriguez, the Biloxi Shuckers (33-32) won their second straight game, this time a 2-1 final, over the Chattanooga Lookouts (35-29) at MGM Park on Wednesday afternoon.

Rodriguez, who had allowed one run over his last two starts, danced around two walks and a hit batter in the first thanks to a 3-2-3 double play started by Zavier Warren. He then worked around a one-out single in the second with a flyout and groundout.

The Shuckers gave him a 1-0 lead in the second with three straight hits. Carlos D. Rodriguez's single to left plated Warren, giving Biloxi a 1-0 lead. In the third, Lookouts' starter Joe Boyle worked out of trouble without allowing a run after three straight walks loaded the bases.

Rodriguez continued to dominate for Biloxi. After two runners reached to start the third, he retired 11 of the final 12 batters in his outing, working into the sixth for the first time in June.

In the fifth Boyle walked four straight, including Wes Clarke with the bases loaded, giving Biloxi a 2-0 lead.

Ryan Middendorf relieved Rodriguez in the seventh and worked around a one-out double with two strikeouts to keep the Shuckers ahead. In the ninth, lead-off hitter Ivan Johnson hit his eighth home run of the year, but Cam Robinson retired the next three batters in order to earn his third save, and Biloxi's 33rd win of the year.

Rodriguez (4-2) earned the win for Biloxi while Boyle (3-5) took the loss for Chattanooga.
