Tennessee got past Biloxi 9-4 to move past .500. Miguel Useche paced the Smokies lineup with three hits and an RBI. The two teams return Wednesday for another matchup.

Biloxi managed only three runners left in scoring position despite the offensive struggles, a rare inefficiency that worked against the Shuckers.
Tennessee improved to 65-55 while Biloxi fell to 56-61 in the loss.
The Smokies are coming off a loss, 5-5 over their last 10. The Shuckers are coming off a win, 2-8 over their last 10.

Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
