SUMMARY: The Biloxi Shuckers clinched the South Division First Half title for the first time since 2019, needing just one win to secure it. Right-handed pitcher Tyson Harden, a Mississippi State graduate, made his Shuckers debut after being promoted from High-A Wisconsin, striking out two in the first inning. Despite the Smokies scoring early, the Shuckers rallied with key plays from Xavier Warren and Lewis Lara, followed by a three-run homer from Vladimir Restituyo. The Shuckers took a commanding 6-2 lead and never looked back. Celebrations erupted as they sealed the division title in front of a jubilant home crowd.

SUMMARY: Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue across South Mississippi, with periods of heavy rain and localized flash flooding possible through midweek. Tuesday afternoon saw a brief break for many, though storms lingered near Poplarville and northern Pearl River County. High humidity and cloud cover kept temperatures mostly in the 80s. The rainy pattern, driven by a trough between high-pressure systems, persists through Thursday and Friday. Rain chances decrease this weekend as a ridge builds, bringing drier conditions and rising temperatures into the 90s. Despite the heat and humidity, the tropics remain quiet for now, with no development expected over the next week.

Meteorologist Taylor Graham has the latest on rain chances continuing throughout the rest of the week.
