Martin Smashes First Home Run with Shuckers, Biloxi Falls to Pensacola in Finale

BILOXI, MS – In a seven-inning game due to an extended rain delay, the Biloxi Shuckers (33-40, 3-3) fell to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (41-33, 3-3) by a 5-1 score at Keesler Federal Park on Sunday. The seven-inning game was brought into effect after a rain delay of two hours and three minutes on a getaway day for the Blue Wahoos.

In the first inning, Jacob Berry gave Pensacola a 1-0 lead with a solo shot two batters in. In the next inning, Tanner Allen made it a 3-0 lead for Pensacola with a two-run home run down the right field line. In the bottom of the second, Casey Martin drilled a home run to left for his first home run with the Shuckers since joining the team last week in a trade from the Philadelphia Phillies. The Blue Wahoos, however, got the run back in the third with a solo home run from Joe Mack, making it 4-1. Pensacola scored their final run of the game in the fifth when an error allowed Nathan Martorella to score from second, making it 5-1.

Jonathan Bermúdez (3-2) earned the win for Pensacola after he allowed one run over six innings, tying his career-high. Jacob Misiorowski (2-3) took the loss for Biloxi, but struck out five over 2.1 innings.

On the mound, the Shuckers struck out 13, ending the week with a Double-A best 74 strikeouts and the second-most in Minor League Baseball over that span.
