Wahoos Power Past Shuckers In Dominant 12-0 Win

August 12, 2026

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos began a crucial road series against the Biloxi Shuckers with a decisive win on Tuesday night, hitting three homers and allowing only four hits in a 12-0 victory.

Three key Blue Wahoos returned from the injured list, and all three made meaningful contributions. Shortstop Aiva Arquette was 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk, catcher Ryan Ignoffo was 2-for-5, and reliever Logan Whitaker worked a scoreless inning in his first game action since late May.

Blue Wahoos starter Luis Palacios allowed only a hit over 4.0 scoreless innings, and was staked to an early lead when Dylan Jasso’s RBI single in the second inning was followed by a Colby Shade three-run homer for a 4-0 edge. The Blue Wahoos tacked on two more in the third inning on a Cristian Hernández homer, and Arquette’s homer in the fourth inning extended the lead to 7-0.

In the top of the fifth, the Blue Wahoos chased Shuckers starter Jaron DeBerry (L, 7-6) with a single and a walk. Both came in to score, as Jasso lifted a bases-loaded sacrifice fly and Juan Matheus drew a bases-loaded walk against reliever Anthony Flores for a three-run inning and a 10-0 lead.

Late RBI singles from Payton Green in the seventh and Matheus in the ninth gave the Pensacola offense a dozen runs on the night.

Holt Jones (W, 3-0), Whitaker, Jaydenn Estanista and Nigel Belgrave picked up where Palacios left off, and each chipped in for a combined four-hit shutout.

With the win, the Blue Wahoos lead the second half South Division race by 3.0 games over both Columbus and Montgomery with 29 games to play in the regular season.

The Blue Wahoos continue their series against the Shuckers on Wednesday.
