Mobile BayBears Even Series With 4-1 Over Blue Wahoos
May 19, 2013
The Mobile BayBears scored in four straight innings, slowly separating themselves from the Pensacola Blue Wahoos in a 4-1 win on Saturday night at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium.
Entering the third inning trailing 1-0, Mobile put up single tallies in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth frames. Justin Greene provided the tying RBI with a two-out double in the third and two innings later, made it 3-1 with another double that scored Ender Inciarte. Nick Evans launched a solo homer in the fourth that gave Mobile a 2-1 lead. It was Evans’ seventh homer of the year, and fourth in the last five games. The BayBears scored their fourth run thanks to a passed ball scoring Brent Clevlen in the sixth inning.
Pensacola’s lone tally against Archie Bradley came in the first inning. The Wahoos were able to load the bases with nobody out on a hit batter, single and an error. Joe Mather brought a run home with a sac fly, but Bradley retired the next two hitters to get out of the jam.
The Wahoos ended up tying a season-high with 12 runners left on base, including the bases loaded in the eighth as Kevin Munson struck out Bryson Smith. Munson went on to pick up his sixth save of the season.
Bradley picked up his third win in four starts at Double-A, allowing a run on five hits in six innings while striking out five. He bested Ryan Dennick (2-3) who gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits in five frames.
The two teams square off again on Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. Manny Parra (0-0, 0.00) will make his third rehab start for Pensacola and will be followed by Daniel Renken (1-3, 4.58). David Holmberg (1-2, 2.20) will start for Mobile.
