Blue Wahoos Drop Second Straight To Biscuits
April 23, 2012
The Blue Wahoos led for the first five innings on Sunday night in Montgomery, but the Biscuits’ seven late runs were too much for the Wahoos as Montgomery won their second straight over Pensacola 7-3.
Pensacola went up 2-0 on a two-run double in the first inning by Brodie Greene. The game stayed that way until the Biscuits scored three runs against Blue Wahoos starter Daniel Corcino in the sixth inning.
The rally started when Tyler Bortnick reached on an error to begin the inning, one of three by the Blue Wahoos in the game. He and Cole Figueroa both scored on a two-run double to center by Henry Wrigley to tie the game. Wrigley came home two batters later on an RBI single by Omar Luna putting the Biscuits in front 3-2.
Pensacola evened things up in the top of the seventh when Greene delivered his second two-out RBI hit of the game scoring Didi Gregorius from third. The Biscuits went on to score a pair of runs in each of the next two innings with a two-run double by Henry Wrigley in the seventh and a two-run homer by Brad Coon in the eighth.
The Blue Wahoos loaded the bases in the ninth with two outs, but didn’t score. Greene led the way offensively with a 4-for-4 game including a pair of doubles with three RBI and a walk. Gregorius had a two hit game in his return to the lineup after missing the last two games with a bruised wrist from getting hit by a pitch on Thursday.
Corcino went a season-high six innings in the start for the Blue Wahoos. He was charged with three runs, two earned, on five hits. He walked only two and struck out six. Clayton Tanner was tagged with the loss out the bullpen for the Blue Wahoos. We was charged with the two seventh innings runs after working 0.2 innings. Frank De Los Santos didn’t record a decision in the start for the Biscuits after working five innings and allowing just the two runs on six hits. Adam Libertore got credit for the win after working the two innings out of the bullpen.
The Blue Wahoos look to even the series on Monday night behind right-hander Tim Crabbe (0-0, 4.85). He will be opposed by lefty Kyle Lobstein (1-0, 2.45). First pitch is set for 7:05 in Montgomery.
