Miami Marlins No. 27 prospect Max Williams made his Double-A debut. He hit a solo home run in the ninth inning, helping the Pensacola Blue Wahoos rally to defeat the Columbus Clingstones 8-6 in extra innings on Friday. 

Williams started the season on the injured list and made his season debut with Single-A Jupiter. As the Florida State alum rises the minor league ladder, Williams has totaled 10 home runs, 26 RBI and a .969 OPS in 40 games. 

The Marlins took Williams in the third round of the 2025 MLB Draft after he hit 33 home runs through two seasons with the Seminoles. He finished his first summer with a .269/.359/.284 slash line through 19 games with the Jupiter Hammerheads. 

The Blue Wahoos scored six runs in the top of the 10th inning to take control after the teams entered extra innings tied. Marlins No. 2 prospect Aiva Arquette knocked in a two-run double, while Cristian Hernandez drove in a run in a multi-hit effort 

Orlando Ortiz-Mayr struck out six batters in five shutout innings for the Blue Wahoos.

He scored the winning run on a wild pitch with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Chase Jaworsky hit a solo home run and extended his hitting streak to 11 games and his on-base streak to 16 games. Victor Ortega drove in a career-high four runs on two hits.
