Blue Sox Win Thriller, 9-8
The Irving Blue Sox sent the home crowd home smiling from Blue Sox Ballpark.

The Biloxi Shuckers got a sterling performance from first baseman Mo Meaker, but the Blue Sox still prevailed, 9-8. Meaker was named the player of the game in a losing cause. He was 2 for 5 with a home run. He drove in 6 runs and scored once. Irving reliever Napoleon Vitagliano got the win, raising his record to 3-4. Denie Coppens was tagged with the loss.

In the bottom of the ninth, with no one out and the game tied, 8-8, second baseman Phil Beck won it for Irving. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Beck hit a 1-1 fastball from Denie Coppens for a run-scoring single, giving his team a 9-8 win.

"We found a way to get it done," Beck said.

Irving has run its win streak to 5 in a row.
