Wahoos Slip Late To Biloxi
August 21, 2018
Clint Coulter launched a go-ahead three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Shuckers a 6-5 win Monday night at MGM Park.
With Pensacola leading 5-3, Blake Allemand doubled before Robison Leyer walked Trent Grisham with one out in the bottom of the eighth. That brought up Coulter, who delivered the game winning hit with a no-doubter to left field. It was the second consecutive night the Shuckers used a home run to sink the Wahoos chances at a win.
Unlike Sunday’s series opener, it was the Wahoos who struck first Monday night. Mitch Nay and Shed Long roped back-to-back singles off Zack Brown to put the Wahoos in prime position. After a flyout, Gavin LaValley singled home Nay to put the Wahoos up 1-0.
The Shuckers wasted no time re-taking the lead as they belted two homers off Vladimir Gutierrez in the bottom of the second. Allemand hit the first of the two and finished the night a triple shy of the cycle. Tyler Heineman supplied the other.
The Wahoos looked like they had done enough to win with a three-run rally in the sixth. The Wahoos sent nine men to the plate against Marcos Diplan, and with two men on Malik Collymore delivered an RBI pinch-hit double in his Double-A debut. With the game tied at two, TJ Friedl brought home Chris Okey with an RBI groundout before Collymore scored on a passed ball. When the sixth inning ended, the Wahoos led 5-2.
Rookie Davis—in his fourth outing as part of his MLB rehab stint—allowed one run in the seventh inning, which cut Biloxi’s deficit down to 5-3. Corey Ray’s RBI groundout brought home Coulter after he singled earlier in the inning.
Nate Griep earned his league-leading 31st save of the year after he struck out the side in the ninth. For the second consecutive game, the Wahoos outhit the Shuckers; however, Pensacola trails in the series 0-2.
The Wahoos and Shuckers have a quick turnaround, with Tuesday’s game scheduled for 10:35 a.m. RHP Tony Santillan (4-1, 3.98) will try and get back in the win column while Biloxi’s RHP Trey Supak (3-6, 3.67) aims to gives the Shuckers a 2-1 series lead.
