The Pensacola Blue Wahoos fell behind early and couldn’t catch up in their first road game of the 2026 season on Tuesday night, falling 8-2 to the Biloxi Shuckers.
Payton Green provided Pensacola’s only offense, collecting a single in the fifth inning and a two-run homer in the seventh.
Pensacola starting pitcher Jacob Miller (L, 0-1) was rudely greeted in the first inning by Biloxi’s Blake Burke, who extended his Southern League lead in home runs with a solo shot, his fourth in as many games to start the season.
The Shuckers added two runs in the second inning on an RBI single from Dasan Brown, and two more in the third inning on a Damon Keith double.
Five early runs would be more than enough for Biloxi’s Jaron DeBerry (W, 1-0) who worked around four walks to pitch 5.0 scoreless innings and earn the win in his season debut.
Biloxi added three runs off Pensacola’s bullpen, tacking on a pair of unearned runs in the seventh thanks to an RBI triple from Dylan O’Rae and an RBI single from Jesús Made. An RBI groundout from Keith in the eighth gave the Shuckers their last run in an 8-2 final.
Relievers Logan Whitaker and Samuel Vasquez each made their Blue Wahoos debuts out of the Pensacola bullpen.

Grand Slam: Tate’s Strike Out Cancer Game Nears $300,000 For Charities
April 6, 2026
By the time the Aggies won Friday night, Tate softball’s annual Strike Out Cancer Game was near an incredible $300,000 raised in the fight against cancer over the past 16 years.
“It’s not about y’all,” Wyatt said to the teams Friday night. “We are just providing some entertainment. It’s about all of these survivors that are courageous and have to deal with something that I never want to have to deal with.”
“Back in 2010 we had our first cancer game. We raised a little over $2,500. In 2022, we raised over $30,000. Since then it has gone up and up,” Wyatt said. “That is what amazes me.”

Friday night was Wyatt’s final Strike Out Cancer Game at Tate High School; she has announced her retirement from coaching at the end of this season.
The West Florida Jaguars have played in the game for years, because “they are not cheap like other schools,” Wyatt quipped. Friday night, they arrived with a $3,512 check.
The umpires not only provided their time for the game, they came with a $5,000 check. And they work for free and give back every single year.
“If the next coach of Tate High School is sitting somewhere in the stands, please don’t let this game go under. Keep it going because these kids and parents and cancer people truly, truly enjoy it.”
“Cancer sucks.”
During Friday night’s game, the Tate Aggies walked off with a 5-4 in over West Florida. For a game action photo gallery, click here.
