Armed Woman Shot By Escambia Deputy
April 22, 2012
A woman was hospitalized after being shot by an Escambia County deputy Friday night.

Neighbors said the woman had been arguing with a man over about $15 in babysitting money. She allegedly swung a stick at the man before returning to her apartment and retrieving the gun.
The names of the deputy and the woman have not been released, nor has the condition of the woman.

Seven Run First Dooms Wahoos, Biscuits Win 7-1
April 22, 2012
The Blue Wahoos struck first Saturday night, but the lead was short lived as the Montgomery Biscuits responded with seven runs in the home half of the first and held on for the 7-1 win andeven the five-game series at a game apiece in Montgomery.
Ryan LaMarre continued his hot hitting with a single to open up the game for the Blue Wahoos and scored from second on a base hit by Joel Guzman to give Pensacola the early advantage. LaMarre added a triple later in the game for his sixth multi-hit game of the season. Guzman also had a two-hit performance with a second single in the sixth.
The Biscuits responded with seven run in the bottom of the inning. Blue Wahoos starter Curtis Partch (L, 0-2) walked the first three batters he faced before back to back doubles by Henry Wrigley and Michael Sheridan. After another walk, Kyeong Kang blasted his third home run of the year to give the Biscuits a 7-1 lead. Neither team crossed the plate the rest of the way as three Blue Wahoos relievers combined to work 4.1 scoreless innings.
Partch bounced back and went 3.2 innings allowing the seven runs on three hits. He walked six, four in the first inning, and struck out two in the losing effort. Shane Dyer (W, 2-1) worked five innings in the winning effort for the Biscuits. He gave up just the one first-inning run, he walked two, allowed five hits and struck out two.
The series continues in Montgomery on Sunday evening with first pitch slated for 5:05 p.m. Right-hander Daniel Corcino (0-1, 4.61) will take the mound against Biscuits lefty Frank De Los Santos (1-1, 2.38).
