Wow.

 

Ray now has 7 HRs, which has him tied for 2nd in the Southern League in HRs. Didn't see that coming.

Biloxi Box Score

 

It was home run night in Biloxi on Thursday. And while the Shuckers out-homered their opponents, they did not make their HRs count like the Chattanooga Lookouts did.

 

The Shuckers had four HRs - all solo shots - and those four runs were all Biloxi could manage. The Lookouts had three HRs, but scored six times.

 

Corey Ray, Troy Stokes Jr., Jake Hager and Clint Coulter all went yard in the loss. Thomas Jankins gave up six runs in five innings - including three HRs.

 

Batting

 

Corey Ray: 2-4, HR

Troy Stokes Jr.: 1-4, HR

Jake Hager: 2-4, HR

Jake Gatewood: 3-4, 3B

Clint Coulter: 1-4, HR

 

Pitching

 

Thomas Jankins: 5.0 IP, 7 hits, 4 ER, 0BB, 4K, lose (also surrendered 3 HRs)

Brad Kuntz: 3.0 IP, 0 hits, 0 ER, 1BB, 2K

Miguel Sanchez: 1.0 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 0BB, 1K

 

Notes

 

Trent Grisham returned from the DL today, going 1-4 in his return to the lineup.

SKY SOX RALLY LATE TO DEFEAT REDBIRDS IN SERIES OPENER

 

As is often the case, the "notes" section at the bottom of the link is as informative as the game summary itself.

Box Score / Game Log

 

As you read at the Choi-related link and in the summary, huge night for Keon Broxton.

 

17 Sky Sox players saw action. If you're going to digest a box score in full this week, make this the one (Burnes, Espino's debut, Wilkerson in the pen for this one, Barnes).
