Final: Chattanooga 0, Biloxi 3 Peralta sharp in Shuckers' 3-0 shutout of Lookouts Wily Peralta tossed 3.2 scoreless in his second minor league rehab Thursday Biloxi Shuckers http://www.milb.com/assets/images/9/2/2/136983922/cuts/8S1A5391_dawqemjh_tf2f1osk.JPG Wily Peralta took the mound for Biloxi on Thursday night at MGM Park (M.K. Krebs) BILOXI, MS - The Shuckers bounced back on Thursday with a 3-0 shutout over the Chattanooga Lookouts in front of an energetic crowd of 3,547 at MGM Park. Milwaukee Brewers rehabbing right-hander Wily Peralta tossed 3.2 scoreless innings and threw 58 pitches in his second minor league rehab outing, first for Biloxi. The win puts the Shuckers back at .500, 9-9 in the second half and 18 games over .500 on the season, 53-35. The shutout was the ninth posted this season which is tied for first in the league. Peralta allowed a hit in his first two innings, but did not allow a Chattanooga Lookout to get any elevation when making contact in the first two frames, inducing three groundouts and striking out two in the early portion of the game. On the night, the 26-year-old picked up five groundouts, two fly outs and three punch outs in his 3.2 innings of work on 58 pitches in his second rehab start. Peralta was facing the Lookouts for the fifth time in his career (Dodgers affiliate at the time), and first since 2011 while with Huntsville. Biloxi (10-10) scored first for the sixth consecutive game during the fourth inning, taking advantage of four walks from Chattanooga starter Brett Lee (0-4) and an error to plate three runs. A one-out single by Tyrone Taylor (1x3, R) got the offense going in the frame and back-to-back walks to Michael Reed (1x2, R, 2 BB) and Nick Ramirez (0x3, R, BB) with two outs loaded the bases for Victor Roache (0x3, RBI, BB), who drew a third-consecutive walk to force in the first run of the inning. Brandon Macias's (0x3) hot shot to third was misplayed by Niko Goodrum, allowing Reed to score from third and keep the bases loaded for Parker Bereberet (1x2, RBI, BB), who drew the fourth walk of the inning to bring in the third run, providing the Shuckers a 3-0 advantage. The Shuckers used a heavy workload from the bullpen on Thursday, needing four arms to come on in relief. Derek Eitel (W, 1-1, 1.1 IP, SO), Brooks Hall (IP, H, SO), Manny Barreda (1.2 IP, H, BB, 3 SO) and Mike Strong (SV, 4, 1.1 IP, BB, 2 SO) pitched the final 5.1 innings, shutting out Chattanooga (5-14) on two hits, two walks and seven strikeouts. Eitel earned his first win as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers on the mound, pitching for the first time as a Shucker at MGM Park. Eitel last pitched on June 6 as a member of the Mobile BayBears. Strong logged his fourth save tossing the final 1.1 innings. Biloxi will try to pull ahead in the five-game series with Chattanooga in game three on Friday night. Friday's game will feature Post-Game Fireworks! RHP Johnny Hellweg (0-2, 7.20) will make his third start of the season for the Shuckers, while the Lookouts will counter with RHP D.J.

He'll still need a couple of more rehab starts to get stretched out, but the Brewers could have a decision to make with their starting rotation before long. Though either Kyle Lohse or Matt Garza (hopefully both) could go in a trade and free up a spot for Wily. Outstanding effort from the bullpen, combining to go five and a third innings of scoreless relief, allowing just two hits and two walks while recording seven strikeouts. Even though the average has dipped a bit in recent weeks, Michael Reed continues to get on base for the Shuckers. He reached base in three of his four plate appearances tonight, picking up a single and a pair of walks. Orlando Arcia singled and stole a pair of bases.

A single by Stuart Turner moved Knecht over to third to put runners on the corners, then a passed ball allowed the go-ahead run to cross for Chattanooga (5-13). The Shuckers plated three runs in the first inning to jump out to a quick lead on Wednesday thanks to a breeze out to left field. It was the fifth time in five games Biloxi opened the scoring.

Harrison scored the tying run on a single by Knecht to left, with Fellhauer throwing out Harrison on the plate to keep the score at three apiece. Chattanooga pulled ahead in the seventh on a solo home run by Levi Michael to left placing the Shuckers down a run, 4-3, but Arcia (2x5, HR, RBI, R) rocketed a blast into the netting in left field to tie the game at four in his first game back since participating in the Futures Game on Sunday.

Both teams put up a run in the eighth with Chattanooga using a sacrifice fly to center by Adam Brett Walker, bringing in Niko Goodrum for the one-run advantage. Tyrone Taylor (2x5, RBI) singled into left to bring home pinch runner Nick Shaw (1x1, R) from second for the tying run.

Lopez is 8-1 since April 24. The Shuckers collected six doubles including two from Nathan Orf, who finished 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI.

Shortstop Orlando Arcia led a Shuckers offense that tallied 11 hits by finishing the evening 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and two stolen bases. Late addition to the lineup, Nick Shaw reached base safely five times in the win. The win places every team in the Southern League South in a tie for first place at 7-7 at the conclusion of Thursday's action and makes the Shuckers the eighth team in minor league baseball to reach the 50-win plateau.

The Shuckers created separation with a five-run fifth to pull ahead, 7-2. Shaw singled and moved over to second on a walk to Tyrone Taylor (1x4, R, 2 BB) to set up Arcia's second RBI of the game on a single. Michael Reed (2x5, RBI, R) followed with a single to push Taylor across and Nick Ramirez' (1x3, 2 RBI, 2 BB, R) two-run single plated Arcia and Reed to give Biloxi a four-run advantage. Victor Roache's (1x3, RBI, 3B, BB) triple, one out later, allowed Ramirez across for the fifth run of the inning. Ramirez has eight RBI's over his last five games and is second in the Southern League with 56 on the year. Biloxi would tack on another run in the fifth for a six-run lead on a RBI double for Arcia to bring in Shaw and make it an 8-2 game. The 20-year-old shortstop collected his 12th three-hit performance and now leads the league with 24 doubles.

Biloxi (6-5) got on the board in the fourth with an RBI triple from Orlando Arcia (1x3, RBI, 3B) to score Nathan Orf (2x4, R) from first to put the Shuckers down a run. A walk to Michael Reed (0x2, 2 BB) put runners on the corners, but back-to-back strikeouts to Nick Ramirez (0x3, BB) and Victor Roache (0x4) ended the threat. Arcia took the team-lead with his fifth triple and 31st extra-base hit of the season. Arcia also leads the league with 95 hits.

Both runners advanced 90 feet on stolen bases and Reed hit a bullet to second that was misplayed by Eric Garcia, allowing both men to score and tie the game at two. Reed scored on an errant pickoff attempt by David Peterson that sailed into right field, with Reed coming in on the misplay by Garcia. Mike Strong (3-1) came on for the save attempt in the ninth, but gave up a double, home run, recorded an out and gave up a single before Carlos Subero called on Damien Magnifico (0.2 IP) to finish the inning. The righty from Mesquite, Texas induced an around-the-horn double play to keep the Shuckers down a run going into the bottom of the ninth. Biloxi (5-3) put its fifth-consecutive leadoff man on with a walk to Tyrone Taylor (0x3, BB) and Fellhauer would reach two outs later on a catcher's interference to put the go-ahead run on first. Just like in the eighth, both runners moved up on stolen bases to put two in scoring position with two outs. Orf battled with Tyler Jones, but ultimately lined out to second to end the game. Shuckers' starter Hobbs Johnson needed only seven pitches to work a 1-2-3 first, but labored through the second inning, walking three and allowing a two-run home run to Kevin Ahrens to put Biloxi in a 2-0 hole. The southpaw surrendered a season-high six walks in five innings, while allowing the two runs on two hits and four strikeouts. Steve Janas made his Double-A debut for the Mississippi Braves and had a no-hitter through four innings, allowing just one base runner on a hit-by-pitch to Adam Weisenburger (1x3). Taylor Green (1x3, BB) broke up the no-hitter with a leadoff single in the fifth, but would be erased on a fielder's choice. Janas has no surrendered a run in 28.2 innings, going back to April 28, while with the Carolina Mudcats. Mississippi (4-4) committed a season-high five errors in the victory Biloxi will travel to Montgomery, AL to take on the Biscuits for game one of a five-game series.
