September 13, 2022 – Southern League (SL) – Mississippi Braves News Release
PEARL, MS – RHP Allan Winans struck out a career-high 10 over seven shutout innings, but the Mississippi Braves (59-72, 30-32) fell 2-0 on a ninth-inning, two-run single to the Montgomery Biscuits (68-58, 40-24) on Tuesday night at Trustmark Park.
Winans tied a career high with seven innings in his eighth and final start for the M-Braves this season. The right-hander struck out 10 with one walk and allowed four hits. His previous career high for strikeouts was six. He matched a seven inning start against Pensacola on July 22 where he gave up one earned run.

The M-Braves mustered just two hits in the loss. Cade Bunnell lined a base hit to center field in the second inning but failed to get past first base. In the fifth, Riley Delgado led off with a hot shot single off the glove of the third baseman. He advanced to second base on a wild pitch and was the only runner to make it into scoring position for the M-Braves.
Delgado extended his on-base streak to 15 games, going 1-for-3.
With no score in the ninth, RHP Kyle Wilcox walked the bases loaded. Alejandro Pie snuck a chopper up the middle to score two runs and make it 2-0. The M-Braves went down in order in the ninth.
