Biscuits Edge Wahoos 9-7
June 4, 2013
The Montgomery Biscuits scored three runs in the eighth to put the Blue Wahoos away in an eventual 9-7 win over Pensacola to even the five-game series at a game apiece at Montgomery’s Riverwalk Stadium.
Pensacola used five Biscuits errors to score in four separate innings. The Blue Wahoos claimed an early lead with a pair of first-inning runs, but the Biscuits countered with two of their own. After Pensacola claimed another brief lead with run in the top of the third, the Biscuits responded with four in the bottom of the fame to take the lead for good.
The Blue Wahoos scratched across another run in the fourth, but the game remained 6-4, until the Biscuits opened up a 9-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth. Wahoos starter Ryan Dennick (2-6) was charged with the loss after allowing all nine Montgomery runs, eight were earned, in the longest start by a Pensacola pitcher this season. He recorded one out in the eighth, but left with the bases loaded, and all three came home against reliever Josh Ravin. The eight runs allowed by Dennick were a season high.
The Blue Wahoos added some suspense with three runs in the top of the ninth after a pair of Biscuits errors extended the inning. Pensacola got the tying run to the plate but couldn’t get the game evened up. David Vidal led the Wahoos offensively with a 2-for-3 game. He added a walk, an RBI and run scored. Devin Lohman also had a two-hit game with a run scored.
Cameron Seitzer did a majority of the damage for the Biscuits with a 3-for-4 night with two runs scored and three RBI. His two-run double in the third inning was the hit that put the Biscuits ahead, and his single in the eighth started the Montgomery rally that led to their three late insurance runs.
Biscuits starter Jake Thompson got the win after allowing four runs, two earned, in 5.1 innings. He walked five and struck out five. C.J. Riefenhauser earned a two inning save despite allowing three runs in the ninth. All three runs he allowed were unearned. Of the Wahoos seven runs scored against Biscuits pitching, only two were earned. The seven runs were the most they have scored in a loss this season.
The series continues on Tuesday night at Riverwalk Stadium. Pensacola will turn to RHP Daniel Renken (1-4, 3.77) against Biscuits RHP Merrill Kelly (4-5, 3.73). First pitch is slated for 7:05 p.m.
