Blue Wahoos Win Third Straight
June 10, 2012
Blue Wahoos pitchers allowed just one unearned run in Pensacola’s 3-1 win over the Birmingham Barons on Saturday night at Regions Park in Hoover, Al. The win is the Blue Wahoos’ third straight win over the Barons and their fifth win in their last six games.
Pensacola did all of their damage in the top of the first. Ryan LaMarre led off the game with a solid single before Didi Gregorius doubled down the right field line which plated LaMarre all the way from first base. Gregorius came home later in the inning on a double by Josh Fellhauer. He later scored on a groundout by Yordanys Perez. After the Blue Wahoos claimed a 3-0 lead, the pitching took over.
Kyle Lotzkar went five innings in the start for Pensacola. The only run he allowed was Tyler Saladino after he reached on an error in the bottom of the second. Erik Morrison singled home Saladino for the Barons only run of the game, which was unearned. Lotzkar only allowed one more hit over his final three innings as he earned his third win of the season.
The bullpen took over in the sixth and allowed just two singles over the final four frames. Wilkin De La Rosa worked two scoreless innings allowing just one single. Curtis Partch came in to earn the save by working a pair of scoreless innings. He struck out two over his two innings. The save was his first of the season.
Birmingham starter Nester Molina didn’t allow more than one baserunner in an inning after the second. He was charged with all three first-inning Blue Wahoos runs in his fifth loss of the season.
The Blue Wahoos have already secured their first series win since beating Jacksonville three-out-of-five May 17-21 in Jacksonville. Pensacola improves to 6-2 against the Barons this season.
Pensacola will look for their fourth straight win on Sunday afternoon. The Blue Wahoos will send right-hander J.C. Sulbaran (4-4, 4.40) to the mound against Birmingham righty Brandon Kloess (2-2, 1.91). This will be the first start of the season for Kloess and the just the third of his career. First pitch is set for 4:00 p.m.
