Adam Hall and his Biloxi Shuckers teammates battled back valiantly from a three-run deficit, but ultimately succumbed to a 4-3 extra-innings defeat against the Birmingham Barons at Keesler Federal Park. The loss in the Sunday series finale marks the end of their current run of games before the four-day All-Star Break.
The Barons seized an early lead, with Jacob Gonzalez's RBI single and Caden Connor's RBI double giving them a 2-0 advantage in the first inning. William Bergolla extended their lead to 3-0 with an RBI single in the third.
However, the Shuckers, known for their resilience, began to chip away.
