The home team had come away the winner the last five times Pascagoula and Picayune had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Panthers fell just short of the Maroon Tide by a score of 2-1 on Saturday. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Maroon Tide this season, with their most recent loss being a 3-1 defeat on Friday.
Pascagoula got a good showing from Izayah Sims, who tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. Sims has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Pascagoula saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Carlos Fernandez, who went 2-for-3 with one double.
Pascagoula's loss dropped their record down to 4-10-1. As for Picayune, the win got them back to even at 8-8.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Pascagoula will take on Hancock at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Hawks will roll in looking for their eighth straight victory, something the Panthers surely won't give up without a fight. As for Picayune, they will face off against Gautier at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Gators have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.62 runs per game on average), something the Maroon Tide will no doubt try to take advantage of.
