Final: Chattanooga 4, Biloxi 3 Six-game winning streak snapped by Lookouts Aaron Wilkerson earns a quality start in a no-decision on Monday BILOXI, MS - The Biloxi Shuckers saw their six-game winning streak snapped Monday night with a 4-3 loss to the Chattanooga Lookouts. The Shuckers closed out the 10-game homestand with a 6-4 record against the Braves and Lookouts. winning four of five from the latter and took the season series, 6-4. With the Shuckers falling on Monday and a Pensacola victory, the Shuckers are again locked in a first-place tie atop the Southern League South Division standings with 25 games remaining the first half. Read the remainder of the recap at the link above. *** Biloxi Shuckers can’t capitalize on Aaron Wilkerson’s strong start Patrick Ochs, Biloxi Sun-Herald http://www.sunherald.com/sports/mlb/biloxi-shuckers/a62jwy/picture152068887/alternates/FREE_1140/0522%20shuckers01 Shuckers left fielder Clint Coulter slides into third base manned by Chattanooga Lookouts' T.J. White Amanda McCoy photo NOTE: You'll find five more photos at the bottom of that article page link. BILOXI — The Biloxi Shuckers couldn’t take advantage of Aaron Wilkerson’s second quality start of the season on Monday. The newly honored Southern League Pitcher of the Week surrendered three runs early before settling in against the visiting Chattanooga Lookouts. While the Shuckers rallied in the seventh to tie the score, they gave the lead right back in the next frame, falling 4-3 at MGM Park. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak and puts the Shuckers in a tie for first in the Southern Division with Pensacola at 25-20. “It was one of those days where you were hoping for a key hit like (Clint) Coulter had,” Shuckers manager Mike Guerrero said. “And some days you need two to win.” Wilkerson threw seven innings for a second consecutive start, tying a season-long. He allowed three runs on five hits and walk while striking out six. “He gave us an opportunity to win the ballgame,” Guerrero said. “Anytime a pitcher throws seven innings and allows three runs you have an opportunity to win.” Shuckers offense Former independent league standout Art Charles had one of his better performances of the season Monday. The designated hitter was 2-for-4 with a single, double and run scored. He helped spark the Shuckers’ third inning with a leadoff single to left field. After Coulter walked and Johnny Davis struck out, Mauricio Dubon singled up the middle, scoring the 6-foot-6, 220-pound slugger. “(Charles) is improving,” Guerrero said. “It’s nice to see him start swinging the bat.” The Shuckers’ best inning came in the seventh when Angel Ortega and Jacob Nottingham reached on a single and hit batter respectively. Following a Charles groundout, Coulter singled up the middle, scoring both Shuckers and tying the game 3-3. “(Coulter) has been having better at-bats and hitting the ball a lot more solid,” Guerrero said. “It’s nice to see he’s coming around.” The Lookouts (24-21) responded in the next inning, plating a run on three walks and a single all against fielder-turned-reliever Nick Ramirez. With two Lookouts on and one out, the Shuckers intentionally walked Jonathan Rodriguez to load the bases. Ramirez got a big strikeout of left-hander LaMonte Wade, but walked Ryan Stausborger to push the go-ahead run across the plate. A comebacker to Ramirez ended the threat. “He needs to challenge the hitter a little more. Go after the hitter,” Guerrero said of Ramirez. “I prefer to get hit around to walked batters because at least you have a chance to make a play when you make them hit the ball. “I think he’s capable of throwing strikes so he needs to make that adjustment.” The Lookouts took an early lead in the second after Strausborger hit a triple off the right field wall and scored on a groundout. Rodriguez hit a two-run homer in the third to push Chattanooga’s advantage to 3-0. Good looking out Lookouts starter Felix Jorge earned the win, allowing three runs in seven innings, walking one and striking out three. Closer John Curtiss pitched a perfect nine with a strikeout to earn his seventh save of the season and keep his ERA unblemished at 0.00. T.J. White led Chattanooga with two singles. Next up The Shuckers will take Tuesday off before visiting the Tennessee Smokies for a five-game series while the Conference USA baseball tournament takes over MGM Park. Biloxi returns home May 30 for a five-game series against Mobile. *** VIDEO TWEET: Recap of the action via the Shuckers VIDEO via WLOX: Brief Biloxi game low/highlights *** Biloxi Box Score This was Clint Coulter's third game in left field, 31 in right field; Michael Reed played right here.
