Wahoos Win 3-2 Sunday
April 7, 2014
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos defeated the Tennessee Smokies 3-2 in front of the fourth straight sellout crowd to begin the season at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. The Wahoos (3-1) won the series behind spectacular pitching once again; the staff struck out 10 in the victory, bringing their league-lead to 50 on the season. The Smokies (1-3) had three errors in the game as they dropped their second straight to the Wahoos.
RHP Jon Moscot worked 4.1 innings in the start before being lifted because of a blister on his finger. In his shortened start, Moscot gave up five hits and 1 R/ER while striking out four. Moscot said after the game he is not concerned about missing his next start for Pensacola.
RHP Sean Black relieved Moscot in his first appearance of the season going 1.2 innings. Black struck out two without allowing a hit or a run. Drew Hayes earned his second save of the season despite giving up a 9th inning lead off home run to Dustin Geiger.
Returning Wahoo Yorman Rodriguez provided the tying and go-ahead RBI in the third and fourth inning with a sacrifice fly and a single to left field. Catcher Rossmel Perez got his first start of the year and responded with a great game scoring a run and hitting an RBI single.
RHP Ivan Pineyro started the contest for the Smokies going 4.0 innings and giving up 2 R/1ER. Pineyro added three walks and two strikeouts to his ledger. LHP Jeff Lorick had a strong day in relief pitching 2.0 IP giving up no runs, no hits and striking out two.
The Smokies scored their first run on a single from right fielder Jonathan Mota scoring Kris Bryant from second. Geiger cut the lead to just one in the 9th with his home run, but it wasn’t enough to top the Wahoos.
The Wahoos send the Reds’ sixth best prospect, Michael Lorenzen, to the bump for Monday’s 6:30 p.m. series finale. RHP Matt Loosen is scheduled to pitch for the Smokies.
