Wahoos Even Series With 3-2 Win Over The Jackson Generals
August 8, 2014
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos (18-29, 49-68) evened up the series with a 3-2 victory over the Jackson Generals (21-25, 52-63) at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. Starting pitcher Daniel Corcino dazzled in his longest start of the season, earning his team-leading 10th win.
Corcino went 8.0 innings for the Wahoos and did not allow a run. The righty surrendered four hits and struck out six batters while walking just one. With the win, he heads into a five-way tie atop the Southern League in wins. He is also the second Wahoos pitcher to reach 10 wins in a season. Josh Smith was the first with 11 wins in 2013.
The Blue Wahoos struck first in the second inning when Ryan Wright hit a long fly ball to right field, scoring Ray Chang on a sacrifice. Chang led the inning off with a single, but the run wouldn’t have been possible if not for an error by the Generals’ second baseman, Brock Hebert. The Wahoos scored again in the fifth inning because of an error by the Generals. Yorman Rodriguez hit a fly ball down the right field line that Jordy Lara dropped, which allowed Wright to score all the way from first base.
The Wahoos added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth, which would later prove to be necessary. Rodriguez doubled to begin the inning and Brodie Greene’s single moved him over to third with no outs in the inning. Catcher Chris Berset hit a sacrifice fly to deep left field that allowed Rodriguez to score the Wahoos third run of the game.
The Generals finally got on the board with two runs in the top of the ninth, which included a solo home run from Dan Paolini. Shane Dyer allowed the two runs, but earned his 14th save of the season. The shortstop, Greene, made a sprawling, diving play to his right, got to his feet and fired a strike to first base to end the game in stunning fashion.
Despite taking the loss, LHP Tyler Olson pitched very well for the Generals. Olson didn’t allow an earned run over 5.2 innings of work. The lefty surrendered just three hits and struck out seven Wahoo batters.
The Blue Wahoos will send RHP Jon Moscot (6-10, 3.30) to the mound for game three of the series. RHP Stephen Landazuri (6-3, 3.62) will start for the Generals.
