Nice 4-1 win for the Sounds. Childers pitches the scoreless 9th for his second Save as a Sound. A 9th inning Tyler Black double aided by a fielding error and a WP allowed the 3rd run to cross while a Lockridge double sent the 4th run across. They tie the series at 1-1.

Oh hey that one guy who can kind of pitch a little bit, LHP Robert Gasser, he continues to do Bobby Petrol things. 36 pitches. 23 strikes. 2 2/3 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 3 K, 0 R. Sounds lead 2-1 headed to the 9th. Boy, that September bullpen has the potential to look reallllly good despite RHP Trevor Megill's ongoing maladies.

RHP Garrett Stallings is doing his best to showcase: A man can allow 1.6 hits per inning, but as long as he isn't giving up XBH's and walking batters he can find work arounds. 1-1 game after 5 innings. Stallings: 5.0 IP, 8 H, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 ER.

Unfortunately, his season was cut short due to injury after a challenged third Triple-A start. Regardless, 2025 was a promising season at large for Tate.

Man, I seriously wonder what would have happened in the outing had the homeplate ump just given him the rightful strike 3 on that filthy slider un the second inning after those consecutive singles. I personally always feel when a pitcher is absolutely bringing it, the umps need to elevate their work to meet them. He missed that call and that inning fell apart. Very high pitch count thereafter. Now we wait word on his health, I guess. Ugh.

Though he touched 94-94.5 mph with the heaters he averaged just below 92 mph on those offerings. Two early mistakes in pitcher's counts were the difference, really. Both long balls traveled roughly 380 feet over the right field wall. I tip my cap on the first homer - it was a high outside corner heater. Heck of a swing and favorable result. The second long ball, however, certainly appeared to tail right over the heart of the plate: Cornielle continues to show just enough to keep us quite interested, honestly, but he remains far from a finished product despite some very workable tools in his pitching kit. I did appreciate there were no four-pitch walks in this second start. That's a small step. Many more steps to take on his professional path. Unfortunately, his offense didn't really do all that much to support his cause. The nature of this game was very much the stranded runner(s). The Sounds simply couldn't come up with any sort of rally starting key knock with runners aboard. After a torrid start to his tenure as a Nashville Sound. DH Luis Urías has now gone 0-for-7 with 1 BB and 2 K over his past two games including tonight's 0-for-3 with a walk. RF Jared Oliva came into tonight's game amidst an 0-for-20 slump. He went 0-for-4 with 2 K though he did suffer some very unfortunate luck on a well hit liner directly to the shortstop who promptly picked the runner back at 1B. When it isn't going your way, it often really isn't going your way in baseball. 1B Raynel Delgado remains a late season bright spot with his 2-for-3, 1 2B, 1 BB effort. 3B Oliver Dunn managed a 1-for-3, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K effort as well on the heels of his grand slam on Sunday. Finally, I salute the shutdown bullpen efforts of RHP Justin Yeager (1 1/3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 K) and LHP Josh Maciejewski (1 2/3 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 K). My, what a Triple-A debut Yeager has had since his call-up back in late July. In 17 Nashville relief outings, Yeager has allowed an earned run in only two outings. Final: Montgomery (Rays) 7, Biloxi 2 Shuckers Fall to Biscuits in Game One of SLDS - Wichrowski Ties Career-High with Seven Strikeouts Game Notes Box Score/Game Log The Biloxi Shuckers have indeed now lost seven straight at Montgomery's home park. They were swept to close the month of August, 6-0. They lost game one of this three-game divisional set in convincing 7-2 fashion. And, this being said, boy will the Shuckers rue their blown bases loaded no out opportunity in the top of the second inning of a 0-0 game. Three consecutive K's by Zavier Warren, Garrett Spain, and Eduardo Garcia left all three men stranded. It was a sign of things to come. 1-for-9 with RISP and 8 men stranded in total on the night. Montgomery managed a productive 5-for-14 mark with RISP. RHP Brett Wichrowski's three strikeout first inning may have been the best inning I've seen him pitch all year. He touched 99.8 mph (!!) on the radar gun. That heater shape I've been lamenting of late? Perhaps, the best I've ever seen it. It had rise; ride; and movement abound. If only this was the new bar! Things fell apart a bit in the second frame but the final line reads worse than it may have been. He was left hanging when the home plate ump blew a very clear strike 3 looking on a gorgeous back door upper corner slider. He walked the batter on the next pitch to load the bases after consecutive singles opened the inning. Another single scored the first run but with the runner holding at third base, RF Garrett Spain was able to quickly hit the relay man in 2B Eduardo Garcia and they grabbed their first out in a run down between second and third base. This is where things got dicey. A wild pitch to the backstop (as per usual, I disagreed with this ruling - it is my humble opinion C Matt Wood had to catch that ball. It was inside, yes. But, it was off the webbing of his mitt and it very much looked catchable) scored the second run. A throwing error to first base by SS Jesús Made extended the inning. None the less, two runs were all that crossed. All three knocks, all singles, came in that frame as did his sole free pass. 3.0 IP of 3 H, 1 BB, 7 K, 2 ER work were ultimately put on Wichrowski's ledger. The concerning element of this outing? Wichrowski was pulled after warming up to pitch his fourth frame. Something had obviously gone wrong between innings. His night was done at 66 pitches and 43 strikes. His replacement, one LHP Mark Manfredi, was not up to the task at hand in his 2/3 IP of 2 H, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 3 ER work. He was pulled at 28 pitches. Trailing 7-0 in the ninth inning, both Shuckers runs came via back-to-back long balls off the bats of 3B Luke Adams and C Matt Wood. Adams' shot, in particular, was an absolute 104 mph mammoth pull shot over the left field wall. This had to have felt incredible after two HBP's and one HBP off his helmet the AB prior: The Shuckers will look to bounce back at Keesler Federal Park this Thursday. It's a win or go home game two. Hopefully some of those late well hit balls (Adams HR, Wood HR, Boeve PH 2B) can spring some much needed momentum back in Biloxi. Will we see SS Cooper Pratt back in action? We shall see. Biloxi will be off tomorrow as they prepare for Game Two in Biloxi on Thursday. The Sounds, however, will be back at it in Louisville. RHP Garrett Stallings will get the nod.

Lara grounds out sharply to 2B. That's a wrap. 7 straight losses to Montgomery for the Shuckers.

Boeve fights off two two-strike pitches (pinch-hit appearance) and manages to rip a double to the RF wall. EBJ pinch runs. Lara with the opportunity to keep this mini rally alive. 7-2 deficit remains with two down in the top of the 9th.

Wood follows with an 0-2 golf shot over the RF wall. 7-2 game. No outs. Yay?!

8-of-12 long balls in 2025 for Adams have come versus the Biscuits. 104 mph off the bat. 394 feet over that far LF wall.

Well, trailing 7-0 in the 9th inning in a 3-0 count, 3B Luke Adams - who had been plunked twice in the game and straight off his helmet in his last AB - absolutely crushed a pull shot over the LF wall. 7-1 game. Yay?

He was seen back in the dugout. Hoping it was precautionary. Regardless of this series, Wichrowski is scheduled to appear in the AFL. He needs those reps.

0-2 pitch. Can't happen. Definitely can't happen in this type of game. Wayyyy too much dead center. Hanging slider that came back door to absolutely dead center.

More importantly, here, is the fact (touched on by the Biscuits announcer) Manfredi had to come aboard because something happened to Wichrowski in his warm-up for the fourth inning. This was definitely not planned. It wasn't pitch count related. Something happened. So many sighs. Wichrowski really looked fantastic regardless of that silly second inning. This is not a good development whatsoever, obviously.

I come back in to see Wichrowski K 2 in his 3rd frame. My reward is Manfredi's work? Woof.

<And we now pause our post-season late-season solo coverage for a Farm Chores break. >

Wichrowski ends his inning with another K swinging - foul tip into Wood's mitt. Nice escape given the circumstances. He salvages Made's throwing error with a shutdown effort. 2-0 Biscuits.

Barrios steals 2B. Wood has been having a seriously hard time transferring balls to his throwing hand the past two starts I've seen of his. He double pumps there and Barrios beats it.

Inside slider gets Wichrowski's 4th K. Two down. men on the corners. 3 H, BB, Error, WP/PB (as predicted, they scored it a WP - BS).

Now Made throws down the RF line and Burke can't corral it falling off the bag. Runners on the corners again. Still one out. SO, we have the Shuckers stranding the bases loaded with not a single ball even entering the infield. And, now we have the WP/PB and throwing error. Glorious. 2-0 Biscuits. One down. Runners now on the corners.

AND, just like that, Wood fails to corral an inside heater. That has to be scored a Passed Ball - classic Wood snafu. Knowing Minor League scorers they'll credit that a WP. 2-0 Biscuits. Wood has to catch that ball. It was off target, yes. BUT, it was still very catchable. Goodness.

A single to RF scores 1. The heady Spain catches Simpson rounding 2B (very likely thinking the runner at 3B was heading home) and they get the second out in the run down. Two down. 1-0 Biscuits.

Can we all salute the Triple-A work of one RHP Justin Yeager? He just continues to sling it with purpose.

With runners on 1st and 2nd after consecutive singles, nobody down, Blue decides to squeeze Wichrowski on a gorgeous 2-2 slider at the outer corner of the zone. He blows the called K looking. Batter walks on the next pitch. Sighs. So many sighs. Bases juiced. Nobody out.
