Wahoos Halt Three-Game Skid
May 1, 2015
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos ended a three-game losing streak by beating the Jackson Generals in the opener of a five-game series.
Pensacola scored two runs in the second inning to go ahead, 2-1, and added another run in the fifth inning for a, 3-1, victory over host Jackson.
Marquez Smith, who went 2-4, doubled to open the second inning and scored on Ray Chang’s groundout to tie the game, 1-1. Then, Juan Silva singled on an infield hit to shortstop that scored newly added catcher Cam Maron for a 2-1 lead.
Pensacola added an insurance run in the fifth when Jesse Winker, the Cincinnati Reds No. 4 prospect, led off the inning with a triple to center and scored on a double by Kyle Waldrop to centerfield to go ahead, 3-1. Waldrop extended his hitting streak to five games and is now 7-20 (.350) during his streak.
Jackson had taken the lead, 1-0, in the bottom of the first when they loaded the bases with two outs and Zach Shank scored on a wild pitch by Sampson.
Layne Somsen, who won Sunday’s spot start against Biloxi, pitched three scoreless innings of no-hit ball and struck out two for his second win of the season. Ben Klimesh struck out two in the ninth for his fourth save of the year.
