Wahoos Edge The Chattanooga Lookouts

June 27, 2014

The Blue Wahoos used a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the top of the 11th to beat the Chattanooga Lookouts on Thursday night and snap a three-game losing streak. Yorman Rodriguez sent the game into extra innings when he threw out J.C. Boscan trying to score from second on a base hit in the ninth inning. Rodriguez threw a strike to home plate and Ross Perez tagged out Boscan to send the game to extras.

Rodriguez had a good game at the plate too. He extended his hit-streak to nine games with a single in his first at bat. He singled again and scored in the third. He finished 2-for-5 with a run scored. Brodie Greene (2-for-5, RBI) and Seth Mejias-Brean (2-for-5, R) also helped the cause with two-hit games.

The Blue Wahoos used some good pitching beginning with Michael Lorenzen. He took a no-decision despite working 6.0 innings and allowing just 2 R/ER on six hits with four strikeouts. Four Blue Wahoos relievers backed him up with five combined innings of scoreless ball out of the bullpen. James Walczak (W, 2-3) picked up the win with 2.0 innings shutout innings despite allowing two hits and three walks. Shane Dyer (S, 6) got a save with a scoreless 11th inning.

Lookouts starter and Dodger prospect Chris Reed matched Lorenzen over 6.0 innings. He was charged with 2 R/1 ER on four hits with two walks and five strikeouts in the no-decision. Mike Thomas (L, 2-2) took the loss. He allowed a hit with three walks to force in the eventual winning run in the 11th inning.

Pensacola can even the series with a win on Friday night at AT&T Field. RHP Robert Stephenson (3-5, 3.97) will start for the Blue Wahoos against Lookouts RHP Andres Santiago (1-1, 5.60). First pitch is set for 6:15 p.m. (CT) in Chattanooga.
