Mobile BayBears Beat Pensacola Wahoos

April 12, 2012

Mobile catcher Ed Easley hit a sacrifice fly to foul territory in right field to score center fielder Adam Eaton from third to push the BayBears to a 3-2 defeat of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos on Wednesday night at Hank Aaron Stadium.

After Eaton drew a lead-off free pass and second baseman David Nick reached on a fielder’s choice, third baseman Matt Davidson was intentionally walked to load the bases. Following a strikeout by reliever Drew Hayes, Easley lifted the 1-2 pitch into foul territory down the right field line to Josh Fellhauer, whose throw home was just a split-second late as Eaton tagged up and scored from third to win the contest.

Mobile took a 2-0 lead behind an RBI double from first baseman Kyle Greene in the fourth and Easley’s run-scoring single in the fifth. The Blue Wahoos however, tied the game at 2-2 in the sixth inning with a two-run home run from third baseman Mike Costanzo.

BayBears reliever Matt Gorgen (1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 SO) earned his first victory of the season after yielding just one hit in the final frame, while Hayes (0.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 SO) suffered the loss after giving up a run in the ninth.

The two teams will play again tomorrow night at 7:05 pm, with Pensacola scheduled to give the ball to RHP Daniel Corcino. He is set to be opposed by RHP Derek Eitel.
