Pensacola Blue Wahoos Beat Jacksonville 5-0

May 13, 2015

Timothy Adleman finally celebrated his first win as a Pensacola Blue Wahoos starter after 11 starts over the past two seasons.

The visiting Blue Wahoos backed the right hander up with three runs in the first inning and Adleman (1-3) shut out the Jacksonville Suns over the next six innings in the, 5-0, win.

Adleman scattered six hits, walked one, struck out two and lowered his earned-run average to 1.70, currently the fifth lowest in the Southern League. Adleman has whiffed 22 batters in 33.2 innings and walked nine this season.

Pensacola scored three runs in the first when right fielder Kyle Waldrop tripled in center fielder Beau Amaral and left fielder Jesse Winker to put the Blue Wahoos up, 2-0. Waldrop scored on a ground out by third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean to make the score, 3-0.

The 6-foot-5 Adleman entered the game against Jacksonville 0-6 in 11 starts with a 2.21 ERA and 7.5 strikeouts per nine innings over two seasons with Pensacola.

Adleman has pitched well enough to win other games during that span. The 27-year-old left his last start against Tennessee in the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead, but Pensacola lost, 4-1. He also shut out the Smokies in his first start on April 17 over five innings.

Adleman has whiffed 22 batters in 33.2 innings and walked 10 this season.

In 2014, Adleman, who was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 24th round in 2010 out of Georgetown, made 30 appearances for Pensacola, including six starts. In those starts, he was 0-3 with a 2.38 ERA. He struck out 30 in 34 innings and walked three.

The Blue Wahoos added another run in the sixth inning when Mejias-Brean hit a sacrifice fly to right field in foul territory that scored Winker from third base. Mejias-Brean added a third RBI in the eighth when he singled in Winker, who scored for the third time in the game, to go up, 5-0.
