Wahoos Drop Third In A Row To Mobile
April 26, 2017
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos lost its first five-game Southern League series of the year when the Mobile BayBears won, 3-0, Tuesday at Hank Aaron Stadium.
Mobile leads the series, 3-1, with the final game scheduled for 11:05 a.m. Wednesday.
Pensacola and Mobile have played an interesting series, to put it mildly, with each of the first three games decided by one run.
Tyler Mahle won the first game, 1-0, Saturday with a nine-inning perfect game — the first in 47 years in the Southern League. Mobile took the second game, 3-2, Sunday when it pushed across a run in the eighth inning. Pensacola and Mobile then battled in a 17-inning duel that the BayBears captured, 2-1, on a walk-off single by Zach Houchins.
In the fourth game Tuesday, the BayBears shutout Pensacola, which was the first time they failed to score this season.
It was also their third straight loss after winning a franchise record eight in a row. Pensacola fell to 13-6 on the season and Mobile is 10-9. The Blue Wahoos remain in first place in the Southern Division trailed by the BayBears, which is three games back.
Mobile scored one run in the second, third and fourth innings. In the second inning, Wade Wass double on a fly ball to center field that scored Andrew Daniel for a 1-0 lead. Alberto Triunfel then smashed his second homer of the year to left field to put the BayBears up, 2-0, in the third. It tacked on another run in the fourth to go ahead, 3-0, when Francisco Arcia scored on a wild pitch by Pensacola starter Deck McGuire.
The right-handed McGuire is now 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA. He worked six innings, allowed three runs on four hits, walked three and struck out four. Jake Ehret, who gave up the winning run in the 17th inning the night before, pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out one.
Mobile starter Jordan Kipper pitched seven scoreless innings to improve to 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA. He allowed five hits, walked two and struck out six. BayBears reliever Alex Klonowski earned his first save, despite walking two and striking out one in one inning of work.
