BILOXI (GG) — After signing with the Milwaukee Brewers this morning, Mark Coley II delivered the game-winning hit in the 10th inning as part of a 6-5 walk-off win for the Biloxi Shuckers (9-8) over the Rocket City Trash Pandas (7-10) on Wednesday afternoon. It marked the first walk-off win for the Shuckers in 2026.

Dylan O’Rae also set the single-game franchise record with five stolen bases and extended his on-base streak to a season-best 16 consecutive games.

Jordyn Adams got the scoring started in the second inning with his second home run in as many games, a 404-foot solo blast to left. The Trash Pandas then took a 2-1 lead in the fourth with a solo home run from Raudi Rodriguez and an RBI double from Nick Rodriguez. In the fifth, Eduardo Garcia tied the game at two with an RBI infield single.

Rocket City then took the lead back, 4-2, with a sacrifice fly from Harold Coll in the eighth and an RBI single from Matthew Lugo in the ninth. Down to their final out, the Shuckers tied the game with a two-RBI double from Blake Burke.

In the 10th inning, Wade Meckler made it 5-4 with an RBI single into left, but Eduardo Garcia made a diving stop on the next ball in play, starting a double-play and limiting Rocket City to one run.

In the bottom of the inning, Mark Coley II singled on a groundball in front of home plate and an errant throw allowed Mike Boeve and Jordyn Adams to score, giving the Shuckers a 6-4 win. Anthony Flores (2-0) earned the win while Aneurys Zabala (1-1) took the loss.

Dylan O’Rae (3-for-4), Eduardo Garcia (2-for-5) and Mark Coley II (2-for-5) each recorded multiple hits for the Shuckers. Blake Burke (1-for-4, BB) also extended his on-base streak to a career-best 17 games.

Monday evening, the Biloxi Shuckers began their second series against the Rocket City Trash Pandas this season with a 7-3 win on Tuesday night at Keesler Federal Park. The Shuckers have started every series so far in 2026 with a win (4-0).

The Shuckers got the scoring started in the second with an RBI single by Jordan Adams, who eventually scored on a wild pitch by Austin Gordon to make it 2-0. Adams doubled that lead on a mammoth 458-foot two-run moonshot off the batters eye at Keesler Federal Park. It measures as the longest home run for Biloxi this season.

The Trash Pandas were hitless for the first four innings until Wade Meckler finally made good contact for a base hit before Gustavo Campero cut the deficit in half with his third homer of the season. Blake Burke provided insurance for the Shuckers in the seventh with his fourth double of the year to drive in Jesús Made.

That represented Burke’s team-leading 14th RBI this season. The Shuckers tacked on two more runs in the eighth after a wild pitch by Camden Minacci plated Jordyn Adams and a Dylan O’Rae RBI-double. Raudi Rodriguez got a run back for Rocket City in the ninth with a solo shot.

Brett Wichrowski (2-1) (4.2ip, 5k) was named the winning pitcher, while starter Ryan Birchard (3.0ip, 0h, 5k), plus relievers Edwin Jimenez (1.0ip, 0h, 1k) and Patricio Aquino who locked up the save didn’t allow a single hit or run. The save for Aquino was his first at the Double-A level. Trash Pandas starter Austin Gordon (1-1) took the loss.
