Biloxi uses small ball, gutty pitching to beat D’Iberville 6-3 at MGM Park
SUMMARY: In the inaugural “Tomahawk Cup” marking the start of the “Battle at the Beach” week, Biloxi triumphed over D’Iberville 6-3 at MGM Park. Will Miles, Biloxi’s pitcher, delivered an outstanding performance with 10 hits, 7 strikeouts, and only two earned runs over six innings, earning praise from Coach Hawtin Buchanan for his resilience and effectiveness. Despite D’Iberville’s efforts and Dalton Davis’ standout performance, including scoring a run off Bransyn White’s hit, Biloxi utilized small ball tactics and capitalized on their opponent’s errors to secure the win. The game was highlighted by strategic plays, including successful bunts and steals, demonstrating Biloxi’s effective teamwork and execution, which was crucial for their victory. This win ensures that the “Tomahawk Cup” remains with Biloxi High School for another year.
