PENSACOLA, FL - The Biloxi Shuckers (56-42, 14-15) fell to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (51-47, 17-11), 8-4, at Blue Wahoos Stadium on Wednesday night in game two of a six-game set. Despite the loss, Garrett Spain became the first Southern League player since 2014 to record three outfield assists in a game and the second player in Biloxi Shuckers franchise history to record multiple outfield assists in the same inning. With the historic night, Spain now has 11 outfield assists this season, one shy of tying Josh Fellhauer's franchise record, set in 2015.

The Shuckers struck first for the second consecutive game with a sacrifice fly from Luis Lara in the third, scoring Bladimir Restituyo from third. The Blue Wahoos took the lead in the third with a trio of RBI singles from Jared Serna, Kemp Alderman and Cody Morissette, making it 3-1. In the fourth, Darrien Miller smashed an RBI double to right, with an error on the play allowing Ethan Murray to score from third and tie the game. Later in the inning, Garrett Spain gave the Shuckers a 4-3 lead with an RBI sacrifice fly to center, scoring Miller from third.

The Shuckers remained in the lead until the seventh inning, when a soft infield single with the bases loaded brought home a run, tying the game at four. Nathan Martorella then gave the Blue Wahoos the lead with a two-RBI single to center, making it 6-4. The lead extended to 8-4 later in the inning with a two-RBI double from Fenwick Trimble to center. Evan Fitterer (6-4) earned the win while Nick Merkel (1-1) took the loss for the Shuckers.

The Shuckers return to action on Thursday with first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. Tate Kuehner (7-4, 2.39) is scheduled to start for the Shuckers against Dax Fulton (4-7, 5.10) for the Pensacola.
