BayBears Beat The Wahoos
June 15, 2013
The Mobile BayBears scored single tallies in three separate innings, which was enough on Friday night as the BayBears knocked off the Pensacola Blue Wahoos 3-1 in front of a capacity crowd of 5,038 at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium, the 13th sellout of the season.
A night after pounding two homers, Nick Evans got the scoring started again with a fourth-inning solo shot off Wahoos’ starter Ryan Dennick. The BayBears added another run in the fifth inning thanks to a two-out double from Ender Inciarte, scoring the pitcher Bo Schultz who reached on a two-out infield single.
That was all Dennick (3-7) would allow in another solid start that ended in a loss. The southpaw tossed seven innings, allowing the two runs on six hits while tying a season-high with eight strikeouts. Despite the setback, Dennick lowered his ERA to 3.13.
Mobile added an insurance run in the eighth inning off reliever Brian Pearl. Justin Greene led off the inning with a triple and came home to score on a single from Raywilly Gomez.
Pensacola’s lone tally came in the sixth inning. Tucker Barnhart extended his hitting streak to a team-high nine games with a one-out double and he was promptly brought home on a single from Devin Lohman.
The Wahoos had numerous opportunities to take early leads off starter Bo Schultz, with runners on second and third and one out in the second and the bases loaded with one out in the third, but Schultz maneuvered through both jams without any damage. Pensacola ended up stranding a total of eight runners on the night.
Former Blue Wahoo Mark Serrano (1-0) picked up the win in his debut with the Diamondbacks organization, pitching a scoreless fifth inning in relief of Schultz who went just four innings. The win kept Mobile a half-game above second-place Mississippi who also won on Friday night.
The two teams continue their five-game set with a 6:30 p.m. contest on Saturday evening. Shaun Ellis (1-1, 4.21) will start for Pensacola against Mobile’s Andrew Chafin (2-4, 2.89).
