AT&T Field is the home stadium of the Chattanooga Lookouts.Wednesday night at AT&T Field marked the 46th game of the season for the Biloxi Shuckers, and it was their 46th contest away from home.
The Shuckers are the newest member of the Southern League, having relocated after competing last season as the Huntsville Stars. Groundbreaking for Biloxi’s future home, MGM Park, took place in January 2014, but the facility has not been completed, forcing its tenants to log mile after mile on bus trips.
“It hasn’t been terrible,” said Shuckers center fielder Kyle Wren, the son of former Atlanta Braves general manager Frank Wren. “We’re in Double-A, so we get to stay in decent hotels, and the stadiums are nicer. The biggest thing is that our team has just taken this head on, and we’ve got a really positive outlook on it.
“I think our team has handled it really well, which has made it easier.”
Biloxi’s road resiliency continued with an 8-6 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts that was decided on Tyrone Taylor’s 10th-inning double that scored Wren and Nathan Orf. The Lookouts grabbed a 6-1 lead after four innings, getting a Stuart Turner home run over the center-field wall in the fourth, followed by Byron Buxton’s inside-the-park homer to center.
