The Mud Monsters handed the ball to southpaw Tyler Campbell looking to secure a series split. Campbell started Tuesday’s opener, going 6.0 innings while allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six.

Sunday evening’s outing began with Campbell retiring the first two batters before surrendering a two-out single to Connor Peek.

Peek advanced to second on a passed ball charged to Victor Diaz, but the Mud Monsters starter worked his way out of the frame.

Brayland Skinner began Mississippi’s day on offense with a first-pitch swinging single to reach.

Kyle Booker dropped a sacrifice bunt to move Skinner to second, but the Mud Monsters were held scoreless in the first by Washington starter Ben Kowalski.

The Mud Monsters lead was erased with one out in the top of the third after Billy Sullivan and Kyle Edwards singled to reach.

Andrew Czech followed with a three-run home run to right field to tie the game at 3-3.

In the home half of the third, Paz went the opposite way and banged a ball off the top of the left-field wall.

Paz reached third before the throw back into the infield got away, allowing him to score on an error and put the Mud Monsters back in front, 4-3.

Washington got a run back in the top of the fifth after Brocato smashed a solo home run to make it a three-run game at 7-4.

The Mud Monsters continued their offensive success against the Washington bullpen after southpaw Colt Anderson entered in the bottom of the fifth.

The left-hander surrendered back-to-back singles to Diaz and Joshua Shelly before a walk to Skinner loaded the bases.

Anderson then uncorked a wild pitch to score Diaz and advance the remaining runners into scoring position.

A walk to Booker reloaded the bases before Fritz picked up his second sacrifice fly of the evening to make it 9-4.

With Shelly advancing to third on Fritz’s sacrifice fly, Larry picked up one of his own to score Shelly and push the advantage to 10-4.

Holt then singled home another run but was thrown out at second trying to stretch the hit into a double for the final out, ending the four-run inning with Mississippi leading 11-4.

After being held scoreless in the bottom of the sixth, Mississippi answered with four more runs in the seventh.

Skinner walked to begin the frame against Washington reliever Jack Brodsky before stealing second for his second swiped bag of the evening.

Booker followed with an RBI double to bring home Mississippi’s 12th run.

With one out, catcher’s interference put Larry aboard to join Booker on the basepaths before Paz singled for his fifth hit of the evening, scoring Booker to make it 13-6.

Later in the inning with two outs and both Larry and Paz in scoring position, Bridges smashed a ground-rule double to bring home both runners and extend Mississippi’s advantage to 15-6.

Sanders continued his outing into the top of the ninth looking to collect the final three outs of the 17-8 ballgame.

The rookie reliever struck out Czech for the first out before manager Jay Pecci called upon fellow rookie right-hander Jase Schueller in relief.

Schueller hit Brocato with a pitch before allowing a double to Wagner Lagrange to put two runners in scoring position.

After a mound meeting, Schueller struck out Cole Fowler for the second out, but a wild pitch during Ketchup’s at-bat allowed Brocato to cross and make it a 17-9 game.

Schueller recorded the final out to secure the record-breaking victory and a six-game series split against the Wild Things.

Seven different Mud Monsters collected multi-hit performances as Mississippi tied its club record with 20 hits.

Booker picked up four hits, while Skinner collected his second consecutive three-hit game.

Paz became just the third Mud Monsters player to record five hits in a game, joining Skinner, who accomplished the feat earlier this season on June 27 against the Lake Erie Crushers, and Victor Diaz, who notched five hits on August 19, 2025, on the road against the Florence Y’alls.
