AirHogs Beat The Pelicans

May 17, 2010

The AirHogs (3-0) came from behind Sunday for the second time in three games to deal another gut-wrenching loss for the Pelicans (0-3) by a final of 4-3.

One big positive for the Pels was the pitching performance turned in by Aaron Jackson. Jackson was in trouble with men on base in each of the first four innings of the contest. He ended up battling through six innings, giving up only two runs off 2 hits and walking just 4 batters.

Aaron Jackson’s roommate Antoin Gray was a hot rod with the bat as he went 4 for 4 with 4 solid singles on the night.

The Pelicans scored two runs in the first on a pair of Grand Prairie errors, but RBI ground outs by Ben Petralli in the second and Camacho in the third tied the game at 2-2.

It was a pitching duel from both clubs starters and relievers until Francisco Leandro’s RBI single in the top half of the ninth brought home John Alonso to give the Pelicans a 3-2 lead.

However in the bottom of the ninth, it was another nightmare for Ron Hill A.K.A. “The Bear” and the Pelicans. Hogs 3rd baseman Jaun Camacho singled sharply to left which then skipped away from Joey Side and resulted in Camacho hustling all the way to third base on the play. Aaron Garza then roped an RBI double down the left field line tying the game at 3. Robert Perry then would knock home the game-winning RBI with a deep shot off the right field wall and win the game for the AirHogs 4-3.

The Pelicans will be off on Monday and be back at it with Day/Night Double-Header starting Tuesday morning at 10:05am against the Shreveport Bossier Captains. The 2nd game will be at 7:05pm. Chetan Chaudhari will be on the call for both of the games with the pregame starting approximately 10 minutes before each of the scheduled first pitches.
