Andrew Fischer hits 50th homer and Biloxi forces winner-take-all
Andrew Fischer hit his 50th home run of the 2026 season and the Biloxi Shuckers forced a winner-take-all Game 3 in the Southern League title series.
On September 22, Andrew Fischer hit his 50th home run of the season, driving in four runs, as the Biloxi Shuckers secured a 7-0 victory over Rocket City in the Southern League Championship Series. The win puts the Brewers' Class AA affiliate in a winner-take-all battle for the Southern League crown against the Angels affiliate on September 23.
Fischer, the No. 5 prospect in the Brewers organization, had an impressive postseason, hitting 48 home runs in the regular season, the most in a minor-league baseball season since 1982. He also hit 20 home runs with Class High A Wisconsin, 28 with Biloxi, and two in the postseason. Bishop Letson, Biloxi's starter, had a stellar performance, striking out 12 batters and allowing no runs on four hits over seven innings, with zero walks, tying a single-game franchise record for the team.
The Brewers will send starter J.D. Thompson to face Rocket City in the de facto season championship game on September 23.
