Wahoos Win Third Straight

The Blue Wahoos were playing from behind almost all game until Beau Mills blasted his second home run of the year, a three-run shot, in the top of the ninth to propel the Blue Wahoos to an 8-7 victory over the Chattanooga Lookouts at AT&T Field in Chattanooga, Tenn. on Sunday afternoon.

Daniel Corcino labored through four innings in his no-hit encore. The right-handed prospect walked three in the first inning and dropped a throw back to him after his third walk of the inning which allowed Rafael Ynoa to score the Lookouts first run of the game. He surrendered two more runs in the fourth on a two-run double to Ynoa which gave Chattanooga a 3-0 advantage. Corcino was done after four laborious innings in which he walked six batters and hit one. Despite his control issues, he didn’t allow his first hit until two were out in the fourth. He only gave up two hits for the game, the same number of strikeouts he had on the afternoon.

Pensacola rallied to tie the game in the sixth inning. Brodie Greene sparked the comeback with a leadoff double. He scored later in the inning with David Vidal on a Beau Mills ground-rule double. Brian Peacock scored the third and game-tying run on a wild pitch.

The Lookouts were quick to answer with four runs off the Blue Wahoos bullpen in the bottom of the sixth to go back in front with their biggest lead of the game, 7-3. Pensacola started another comeback in the seventh with a pair of runs to pull back within two.

In the ninth, it was again Greene with a leadoff hit to ignite another rally. Two batters later, Peacock collected his second hit of the game to put runners on the corners for Mills. Already with an extra-base hit and two RBI, Mills blasted a three-run homer over the right field wall for what proved to be the game winning home run. The 8-7 advantage was the first lead of the game for Pensacola.

Justin Freeman (4) came in and slammed the door in the ninth to lock down the win for Pensacola and earn his fourth save of the season. Chris Manno (1-1) picked up his first win of the season after working a scoreless eighth inning. Logan Bawcom (2-3) gave up the three ninth inning runs and was charged with the loss.

Mills finished the game 2-for-4, and his five RBI game is a new Blue Wahoos record. Greene finished 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored. Didi Gregorius (2-for-5, R), Peacock (2-for-4, 2 R, RBI) and P.J. Phillips (2-for-5) also contributed two hit games.

The Wahoos already own a series win, but look to make it four-straight on Monday night. The Blue Wahoos will send RHP J.C. Sulbaran (5-4, 4.25) to the mound against LHP Chris Reed (0-0, 2.00). First pitch is set for 6:15.
