The Wahoos answered the BayBears early after Mobile took a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Ross Perez hit a solo shot to right field in his first at-bat against his former team. Devin Lohman added an RBI sacrifice fly in the inning and Josh Fellhauer nailed a two-out RBI single up the middle to give the Wahoos the lead. Juan Duran smashed the ball all game long; the left fielder ended the day 3-for-4 with three hard hit singles.
RHP Justin Fitzgerald stayed perfect on the year and earned his sixth win for the BayBears. Fitzgerald scattered nine hits over 6.1 innings and gave up 3 R/ER. The right-hander gave up just four hits over his final 4.1 innings of work in the contest. Jake Barrett earned a four-out save for the BayBears, his 11th of the season.
Third baseman Jake Lamb continued his incredible first half with an RBI double in the first inning to give the BayBears a quick 2-0 lead. Lamb provided the big blow in the fourth inning with a bases loaded two-RBI single.
The Wahoos will send RHP Robert Stephenson (3-5, 3.49) to the mound Thursday with just four games remaining in the first half of the season. The BayBears will counter with RHP Mike Lee (3-3, 4.16). First pitch is set for 7:05 from Hank Aaron Stadium.
