Shuckers Fall to Biscuits in Pitcher's Duel, 1-0

MONTGOMERY, AL – In a tight pitcher’s duel at Riverwalk Stadium on Wednesday night, the Biloxi Shuckers (52-49, 22-12) fell by a 1-0 score to the Montgomery Biscuits (59-45, 19-16), with the two teams combing for six hits, with none coming off the bullpen. The 1-0 score was the first between the two teams since April 6, 2024, the second game between the two in the season series.

Shuckers’ starter Brett Wichrowski worked around trouble in each of his first two innings, stranding Chandler Simpson at third in the first and the bases loaded in the second. In the third, Carson Williams led off the inning with a triple and a fielder’s choice from Dominic Keegan gave the Biscuits their only run of the night.

For the Biscuits, starter Adam Leverett was dominant after Dylan O’Rae lined a single into left off the first pitch of the game. After the single, Leverett retired 18 straight batters, finishing six shutout innings on 58 pitches.

Out of the bullpen, Kaleb Bowman (2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 K) and Sam Carlson (2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 K) both dominated for the Shuckers, keeping the game at a one-run deficit. With the appearance, Bowman lowered his ERA to 2.44 on the season over 29 appearances, the ninth-lowest in the Southern League among pitchers with at least 25.

For the Biscuits, Antonio Jimenez and Alfredo Zarraga held the Shuckers scoreless, including a six-out save from Zarraga for his seventh of the season. Leverett (6-3) earned the win while Wichrowski (2-2) took the loss.
