Biloxi dominated Jacksonville in all aspects of the game en route to an 11–1 victory on the road in 2015. Nate Orf homered and drove in four runs, Orlando Arcia and Adam Weisenburger both tripled, while Orf, Brandon Macias and Weisenburger all doubled home runs. The Shuckers also swiped six bases, as Arcia led the way with two thefts. Starting pitcher Hobbs Johnson threw five scoreless innings to earn the win.
Gabriel Noriega singled in Blake Allemand, who had doubled, for the lone Shuckers tally in a 3–1 loss at Birmingham in 2017. In 2018, Corey Ray hit an inside-the-park three-run home run, but Mobile pounded out 16 hits to defeat Biloxi 9–4 at MGM Park. On this day last year, the Shuckers benefited from a very odd play in which two runs scored on a wild pitch by Blue Wahoos starter Jorge Alcala, but it was not enough as Pensacola won the game by a final score of 5–3.
Another oddity in last year’s game against the Blue Wahoos is that Trey Supak surrendered two home runs in the second inning, marking the second outing in a row in which Supak gave up two long balls. Across 2018 and 2019, Supak only allowed ten homers in 209.1 innings over 36 starts for the Shuckers.
