Wahoos Drop Completion 4-2, Original Game Suspended

June 6, 2013

The Montgomery Biscuits wasted little time cashing in on their two baserunners once Tuesday’s suspended game was resumed at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery Wednesday night. The Biscuits held on for a 4-2 win. The Biscuits had runners at first and second with one our when Mark Thomas tripled to the left-centerfield gap giving a Biscuits a 3-2 lead. A batter later, Thomas scored on a sacrifice fly to make it a 4-2 Biscuits lead.

C.J. Riefenhauser slammed the door on the Wahoos in the ninth inning to preserve the lead. He earned his seventh save of the season. Wilkin De La Rosa (L, 1-3) took the loss for Pensacola. Both runners on base were his even though Brian Pearl took the mound when the game resumed. Merrill Kelly (W, 5-5) earned the win for Montgomery after allowing two runs over seven innings before the game was suspended on Tuesday.

Rain started to fall before the originally scheduled game was expected to start and it was eventually postponed. The Blue Wahoos and the Biscuits will now play a doubleheader beginning at 6:05 p.m. on Thursday night to wrap up the five-game series.

The Blue Wahoos are expected to send RHP Josh Smith (4-5, 3.79) to the mound in game one against LHP Enny Romero (4-1, 3.09). In game two Pensacola will go with RHP Shaun Ellis (1-1, 3.50) against the Biscuits RHP Victor Mateo (2-6, 6.35)

Following the game, the Blue Wahoos will head to Pearl, Miss. to open a five-game series with the Mississippi Braves.
