Pelicans Beat The Saltdogs

July 4, 2010

The Pensacola Pelicans (19-28) got a huge home run from Lou Palmisano and a great pitching from Dane Devalk and the bullpen to shutout the Lincoln Saltdogs (29-18) 2-0 Saturday. The win snaps a four game losing streak for Pensacola.

Pensacola got the game’s first run in the top of the fourth inning when Lou Palmisano lined a fastball over the left field wall to give the Pels a 1-0 lead. It was Palmisano’s eighth homerun of the year.

In the top of the sixth inning, Antoin Gray flipped a dead bird single down the right field line to score Leandro from third base to give Pensacola a 2-0 advantage.

Dane Devalk (4-4) gets the win as he pitches six shutout innings and gives up no runs off only three hits on the night. Devalk struck out six batters on the evening as well. Ron Hill pitched a scoreless seventh and eighth inning while Austin Chambliss tossed a perfect ninth for his first save in a Pelican jersey.

Tim Brown (6-4) takes the tough luck loss as he pitched eight innings and gave up only two runs off nine hits while striking out nine batters on the night.
