Pelicans Lose First Seres Since June

July 22, 2010

Richard Salazar and big timely hits led the Captains (14-2) past the Pensacola Pelicans (8-8) 7-4 Wednesday. For the Pelicans it was their first series loss since dropping two out of three in late June against the St. Paul Saints.

Captains jumped out in front in the top of the second inning with a sacrifice fly RBI from Glenn Wilson and an RBI double from Joe Urtuzastegui to give Shreveport-Bossier an early 2-0 lead.

The Pelicans responded in the last of the second inning. Lou Palmisano led it off with a moon shot right over the left field wall for his eleventh homerun of the year. It was a solo shot that cut the lead in half at 2-1.

It was a 4-2 lead for the Captains in the top of the sixth inning when Christopher Garcia rifled a three run double to deep center to clear the bases and opening up this lead for Shreveport Bossier to 7-2.

The Pelicans plated two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning with a dropped ball from Jorge Alvarez and an RBI hit from Marcos Rodriguez to cut the deficit to three runs at 7-4.

Richard Salazar (6-3) gets the win as he goes seven innings and gives up two runs off six hits. Hector Carrasco got the last four outs for his eleventh save of the season.
