Biloxi Shuckers vs. Mississippi Braves (game three)
Shuckers are still gunning for that Southern League South first half title, playoff spot up for grabs versus the M-Braves.
Shuckers win 5-0 as they clinch the first half title and they’re heading back to the playoffs for the first time since their inaugural season in 2015.
In other Shuckers news, first baseman Jake Gatewood has been selected to compete in this year’s home run derby over the All-Star break. He’ll be one of six participants for the June 19th event and he could be the favorite to win it.
So, far in 2018, Gatewood paces the entire Southern League with 13 dingers, two more than any other player before tonight’s games. On average, he’s hitting the ball out of the yard exactly once out of every 19 at-bats.
