MiLB: Walk-Off in Biloxi; Biloxi Shuckers Secure Game One Victory in 12 innings

It took five innings for the Biloxi Shuckers to put up any offense but when it came, it came with a thunder. In the bottom of the eighth, Biloxi put up the tying run with a home run by Lucas Erceg and then the fans in attendance at Biloxi received a little extra baseball. In fact three extra innings of baseball with a ground-rule double in the bottom of the 12th sending the Shuckers in a frenzy and home with the victory.

TJ Friedl Jr. homered in the top of the third to put Pensacola up 2-0. It took two innings for Biloxi to come back but with a sacrifice fly by Trent Grisham, Tyler Heineman scored knocking off one run of the deficit and ended Pensacola's run for a shutout.

Pensacola attempted to put the game out of reach in the 7th with a home run by Taylor Featherston but Biloxi followed it up with another run making it 3-2. As noted above, Erceg belted a ball over the wall tying the game and with both teams defense stepping up, the game entered the 12th.

On a ground-rule double in the 12th, Trent Grisham scored and earned the victory for the Shuckers.

Game two takes place on Thursday Night in Biloxi at 7:35 p.m. ET.
