PENSACOLA, Fla. NewsWK — On July 19, 2026, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos showcased an impressive performance, defeating the Biloxi Shuckers 16-6. Brandon Compton was a standout player, going 3-for-5 at the plate with a double, a home run, and six RBIs, tying a franchise record for the most RBIs in a single game. This record was previously set by Jakob Marsee in 2024.
Compton’s early three-run homer marked his fourth consecutive game with a home run, making him only the fourth player in Blue Wahoos history to achieve this feat. Since joining the team on June 30, he has accumulated eight home runs and 19 RBIs in just 13 games.
The Blue Wahoos set the tone for victory with a seven-run second inning, providing ample support for their pitching staff. Cristian Hernández contributed to the offensive surge with an RBI single, leading to an early exit for Shuckers starter Jaron DeBerry due to injury. Following Hernandez, both Compton and Ryan Ignoffo added RBI singles, before Ian Lewis Jr. capped the inning with a grand slam, marking the third time this season the team has hit a grand slam.
Starting pitcher Alex Williams allowed a couple of runs but managed to maintain control over the game, giving the Wahoos a solid lead. In addition to Hernandez’s contributions, Compton’s two-run double in the fifth extended the lead to 13-3. Juan Matheus added to the scoring with a three-run homer in the seventh inning.
Kade Bragg earned the win after delivering two scoreless innings in relief, while Gabe Bierman and Josh Hejka helped to finalize the 16-6 victory. The Blue Wahoos are set to conclude their series against the Shuckers on Sunday night.
