Wilken was struck by a 94 mph fastball from Atlanta Braves Double-A reliever Domingo Gonzalez in the top of the sixth inning. Javik Blake, a member of Biloxi's media relations department, tweeted that Wilken took the pitch to the left side of his face, but was able to walk off the field under his own power.

Early Origins of the Wilken family The surname Wilken was first found in Glamorganshire where they held a family seat from early times. They were descended from Robert de Wintona, one of twelve knights who came into Glamorgan with Robert Fitzhamon, a Norman noble, in 1066.
