Wahoos Rally For 4-3 Win In 10-Inning Thriller

August 4, 2018

The Blue Wahoos edged the Montgomery Biscuits 4-3 in an extra inning thriller Friday night at Blue Wahoos Stadium.

Pensacola struggled to get anything going against Montgomery starter Sam McWilliams. McWilliams surrendered just one run in six innings, and from the fourth to the sixth inning retired eight Wahoos batters in a row before he walked Shed Long in the bottom of the sixth to kill the streak.

The Wahoos found themselves trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning but rallied to get back into the game. Chris Okey hit a line drive double to center field and Daniel Sweet singled on a bunt pop to McWilliams. McWilliams then walked Jose Siri which loaded the bases. Taylor Featherston was hit by a pitch from McWilliams to plate Daniel Sweet and tie the game 2-2.

The Biscuits would strike first in the 10th inning when Lowe smashed an RBI ground ball single to right-field to score Jake Cronenworth to give Montgomery the one-run lead at 3-2. Arisitides Aquino struck out swinging but a wild pitch by Yoel Espinal would put Aquino on first and automatic runner Taylor Featherston advanced to third. With runners in the corners Mitch Nay hit a ground ball to third base, Mike Brosseau fielded it and threw home to try to get Featherston, but the throw got away and the game was tied 3-3. Espinal intentionally walked Long to load the bases. Then, for the second time in the game, a bases loaded hit by pitch scored a run. This time Gavin LaValley was hit by Espinal and Aquino scored the game-winning run to give the Wahoos their fifth straight win, 4-3.

Pensacola will look to stretch its series unbeaten streak to 13 Saturday night. The Wahoos will start RHP Tony Santillan (4-0, 1.84), and RHP Blake Bivens (2-0, 1.13) will take the hill for the Biscuits
