Boeve's First Career Walk-Off Lifts Shuckers to Fourth Straight Comeback Win

BILOXI, MS – Despite a 63-minute rain delay prior to first pitch, Mike Boeve’s walk-off RBI single lifted the Biloxi Shuckers (41-25) to a 5-4 comeback win over the Knoxville Smokies (30-35) at Keesler Federal Park on Thursday night. The walk-off marked the first of Boeve’s career and the fourth straight comeback win for the Shuckers.

The Smokies took the lead in the third inning on an error and an RBI single from Corey Joyce, making it 2-0. In the third, the Shuckers took a 3-2 lead on a two-RBI single from Ethan Murray and a sacrifice fly from Bladimir Restituyo. In the fifth, a two-RBI double from Pablo Aliendo swung the lead back to the Smokies at 4-3. Ethan Murray’s sacrifice fly to center in the eighth tied the game before Mike Boeve’s single gave the Shuckers their first walk-off victory of the season. Mark Manfredi (2-0) earned the win while Antonio Santos (1-2) took the loss.
