Generals Shut Out Wahoos 5-0 In Series Opener
May 1, 2014
The Jackson Generals never looked back after a two-run first-inning home run, and cruised to a 5-0 win over the Blue Wahoos Wednesday night in the series opener at the Ballpark at Jackson. With a runner at first, Kevin Rivers launched a two-run home run over the right field wall to give the Generals all they needed. Rivers’ homer was one of two for the Generals. Mickey Wiswall’s solo shot capped the scoring in the sixth.
The Blue Wahoos were held to just two hits in the game. James Gillheeney (W, 1-0) held Pensacola at bay over 6.0 innings while earning his first win of the season in just his second start with Jackson. The Blue Wahoos lone threat came in the fifth when a walk, single and error loaded the bases with two outs, but the Wahoos couldn’t push across a run.
Daniel Corcino (L, 2-3) went 6.0 innings and was charged with all 5 R/ER on six hits. He walked two and struck out four in his third loss of the season. The bullpen pitched well to finish the game. Mikey O’Brien and Shane Dyer each worked scoreless inning in relief.
The Blue Wahoos will look to rebound on Thursday with RHP Robert Stephenson (2-1, 4.43) on the mound against Generals RHP Jochi Ogando (0-2, 11.37). First pitch is slated for 7:05 p.m from the Ballpark at Jackson.
