Wahoos Make It Two In A Row With 8-2 Win Over Suns

April 28, 2012


Joel Guzman jump started the Blue Wahoos offense with his two-run homer in the fourth inning, and the Wahoos cruised to an 8-2 win over the Jacksonville Suns behind a strong start by Daniel Corcino on Friday night at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.

Already leading 3-0, the Blue Wahoos added some cushion with a five-run seventh. Ryan LaMarre, Josh Fellhauer, Yordanys Perez and Miguel Rojas all collected hits in the inning to contribute to the rally. Pensacola batted around in the frame sending 11 guys to the plate as the Blue Wahoos went up 8-0.

All seven hitters in the Blue Wahoos lineup that collected a hit in the game had exactly two hits. LaMarre, Henry Rodriguez and Guzman all scored a pair of runs to go with their hits. Guzman and Yordanys Perez also added a pair of RBI in the game.

Jacksonville scored single runs in the seventh and ninth innings against Blue Wahoos relievers after Corcino went 5.1 shutout innings. He allowed just three hits, he walked three and struck out three. The right-hander got credit for the win, his first of the season. Jacksonville starter Zach Neal (L, 2-2) was charged with the loss after allowing three runs on 10 hits over six innings.

Game four of the five-game set is Saturday night beginning at 5:05 CT when the Blue Wahoos send righty Tim Crabbe (1-0, 4.74) to the mound against Suns left-hander Graham Taylor (1-1, 4.09).
