Wily Peralta threw seven shutout innings, Sean Halton went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, and the Huntsville Stars beat the Mississippi Braves 4-1 on Saturday night.

Huntsville beat the M-Braves for the fourth time in the six-game series, and handed Mississippi its fifth loss in six games overall. The series concludes tonight at 6:43 p.m. in Huntsville, then the M-Braves return home Monday night to open a four-game set against the Jackson Generals.

Peralta (6-6) had been shelled for four runs in just 2 1/3 innings in his last outing a week ago, but was sharp in this one. He scattered six hits, walked two batters and struck out four. He won for the third time in four starts.

Robert Hinton pitched the last two innings to earn his first save of the season.

The Stars took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Logan Schafer led off with a walk and later scored on a ground out. Huntsville then added two runs in the fifth to really take control.

Another leadoff walk, this time to Matt Cline, led to a run on an RBI single by Schafer. Schafer advanced to second on the throw home, stole third and scored on a passed ball to make it 3-0.

The M-Braves got on the board in the eighth when Tyler Pastornicky reached on a fielder’s choice and eventually scored on a passed ball. Huntsville answered in the bottom of the inning, however, when Halton drove in a run with his second double of the game.

Schafer finished 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored for Huntsville, and Brock Kjeldgaard also drove in a run. Dan Nelson went 2-for-4 with two doubles for the M-Braves.
