BILOXI, MS - After being held to 17 runs over their last eight games, the Biloxi Shuckers (32-22) exploded for 13 runs, three doubles, two home runs and 10 walks in a 13-5 win over the Montgomery Biscuits (29-25) at Keesler Federal Park on Thursday night. With the win, the Shuckers extended their South Division lead to three games over the second-place Biscuits with 15 games remaining in the first half. The game also featured a grand slam from Zavier Warren, his 36th career home run with the Shuckers, tying Jake Gatewood's franchise record.

After two scoreless innings, the Shuckers struck first in the third with an RBI double from Luke Adams, extending his on-base streak to a career-best 27 consecutive games. The next batter, Luis Lara, made it 2-0 with an RBI infield single. Later in the inning, Brock Wilken reached on an error that brought home a run and Garrett Spain smacked a three-RBI bases-clearing double to right-center, making it 6-0. The Shuckers extended the lead to 7-0 with a solo home run from Luke Adams to left-center in the fourth, his seventh of the season.

In the top of the fifth, the Biscuits got on the board with a two-run home run from Hunter Stovall, but Garrett Spain struck again with an RBI double in the bottom half, making it 8-2. The lead stretched to 9-2 in the sixth with four consecutive walks to begin the inning before Zavier Warren's record-tying grand slam to right-center. Warren's home run, his eighth of the season and the Shuckers' first grand slam of the year, made it 13-2. The Biscuits struck for two in the seventh on a two-run home run from Cooper Kinney and another in the ninth on an RBI single from Will Simpson. Tate Kuehner (5-4) earned the win while Ty Johnson (4-1) took the loss for the Biscuits.

Luke Adams (2-for-3), Luis Lara (2-for-4) and Garrett Spain (2-for-5) each recorded multi-hit performances in the win. Luke Adams (2), Brock Wilken (2), Zavier Warren (4) and Garrett Spain (4) each tallied a multi-RBI performance. The Shuckers also set a season-high with 13 runs.
