Former Biloxi Shucker Orlando Arcia walks it off on Opening Day
On a Major League Baseball Opening Day that saw four games go into extra innings, one of them was decided by a former Biloxi Shucker.
Sometimes, all you’ve got to do is make contact as Orlando Arcia wins the game with a walk-off fielder’s choice in the bottom of the 10th inning to help the Brewers beat the Minnesota Twins 6-5.
Overall, not a good day at the plate for Arcia and Keston Hiura who combined to go just 0-7 with a run scored and that RBI walk off.
Brandon Woodruff got the start, allowing three runs over four innings and got picked up by Freddy Peralta and Hader who combined for nine strikeouts, accounting for all nine outs they recorded.
Meanwhile, out west in Seattle, Dylan Moore went 1-3 with three RBI.
Other players with local ties, Mississippi State alum Nate Lowe, 2-6 with a run and four RBI, East Central Community College alum Tim Anderson, 1-4 with a run, former Southern Miss quarterback and Petal alum Anthony Alford with a run and two walks and Richton alum Jacoby Jones with a run scoring double.
