Pcola Blue Wahoos Snap Skid With 6-3 Win Over Mobile
April 13, 2012
The Blue Wahoos came back to snap back to back losses with a 6-3 win over the Mobile BayBears at Hank Aaron Stadium on Thursday night in Mobile. Didi Gregorius led the way by going 4-for-5 with a couple of runs scored and an RBI as the Blue Wahoos pounded out a season-high 15 hits in the winning effort.
The Blue Wahoos got off to a fast start with a three-run first inning compliments of Mike Costanzo’s league leading third home run of the season, a three-run shot. The BayBears answered with a single tally in the bottom of the first inning against Blue Wahoos starter Daniel Corcino. The BayBears went on to add single tallies in the fourth and fifth innings against the Wahoos starter to even the score at three.
Pensacola reclaimed the lead with a pair of runs in the top of the seventh when Gregorius scored from third on an RBI groundout by Henry Rodriguez. Two batters later, Cody Puckett tripled off the top of the left field wall scoring Ryan LaMarre from third after he had doubled earlier in the frame. Pensacola added an insurance run in the eighth when Gregorius singled home Josh Fellhauer.
Offensively the Blue Wahoos had four players with multi-hit games. Rodriguez (2-for-5), Brodie Greene (3-for-5) and Josh Fellhauer (2-for-5) all collected multiple hits in addition to Gregorius.
Corcino didn’t record a decision after working five innings and getting charged with two earned runs, three total. Mark Serrano (W, 1-0) earned the win out of the bullpen after working a pair of scoreless innings. Serrano, Clayton Tanner and Donnie Joseph (S, 3) combined to turn in four scoreless innings for the Blue Wahoos in relief. Joseph worked a scoreless ninth to earn his third save of the season.
Bryan Henry (L, 0-1) was saddled with the loss for the BayBears after allowing the go-ahead runs in the seventh and eighth innings. Mobile starter Derek Eitel didn’t record a decision.
The Blue Wahoos look to even the series on Friday night at Hank Aaron Stadium in Mobile. The Blue Wahoos will send right hander Tim Crabbe to the mound against Mobile lefty Patrick Corbin. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m.
