Snelling Leads Wahoos To 3-0 Win Over B’ham Barons
September 7, 2024
written by Erik Bremer
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos got back in the win column on Friday night, riding a strong Robby Snelling pitching performance to a 3-0 shutout win over the Birmingham Barons.
Snelling (W, 2-1) worked 5.2 scoreless innings of four-hit ball, striking out six to earn his second win since being acquired by the Marlins at the trade deadline. The 20-year-old lefty threw 99 pitches, his most in a Blue Wahoos uniform.
With the win, the Blue Wahoos kept pace with the Biloxi Shuckers in the hunt for a wild card playoff spot. The Blue Wahoos trail the Shuckers by 3.5 games and the Mississippi Braves by 1.0 game with eight to play in the regular season.
The Blue Wahoos loaded the bases in the first inning against Barons starter Tyler Schweitzer (L, 4-5), but couldn’t cash in. They broke through in the third inning, turning an Andrew Pintar single and Nathan Martorella walk into a 2-0 lead on a two-run double from Jared Serna. Joe Mack brought home Serna on an RBI fielder’s choice two batters later to put Pensacola ahead 3-0.
Snelling pitched into the sixth inning, departing with two outs and two runners aboard. Josh White, entering for his Double-A debut, needed only one pitch to coax an inning-ending popout.
White followed with three strikeouts in the seventh, and Dale Stanavich (S, 4) struck out five more Barons batters in a six-out save to seal the win.
The series continues Saturday in Birmingham, with a 6:30 CT first pitch from Regions Field.

EREC Releases Special Notice To EREC Water Members
September 7, 2024
EREC Water will be executing a vital EPA-mandated assessment in Escambia County to ensure the safety and efficiency of older service lines (houses built before 1989).
- EREC contractors will be properly identified and will start the process beginning of September.
- The work will be conducted throughout northern Escambia County.
- The contactor will excavate and verify service line material type.
This work will involve digging a hole about the size of a basketball on either side of the meter, physical and photo image verification of the line material, and filling the excavation holes. In some cases, the water meter will be changed out at the same time to avoid additional disruption.
EREC is committed to the health of your drinking water. If you have any questions and concerns regarding this process, you may reach out to EREC representatives at (850) -675-4521.
Based on the findings and the funds required to address and upgrade the water lines, the EREC Water Board of Trustees will consider a resolution for a loan and grant to finance the project. This meeting will take place on September 21 at 5 p.m. at the Jay EREC office.

Escambia County Commits $1 Million For Safety Improvements On Highway 4, Highway 4A
September 6, 2024
The Escambia County Commission Thursday night committed $1 million for safety improvements on Highway 4 and Highway 4A in North Escambia.
Escambia County Engineering has contracted with civil engineering firm Jacobs Engineering to provide an assessment of the condition of both county roadways.
“We have an engineering firm looking at Highway 4 and Highway 4A right now about doing some improvements,” District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry said at the Thursday night commission meeting.. “It was not gauged to be as narrow as Highway 164 in the north end, but both roads are also narrow. In some of the areas where we have curves, they are specifically looking at some of the more dangerous turns and curves on those two highways in the north end.”
Jacobs Engineering expects to complete their analysis by January 2025, and Escambia County engineering and traffic divisions will review the report and identify the sections that are the most cost-effective to widen while considering the need due to lane departures. The focus will turn to rebuilding those areas immediately. The remaining portions of the study area will go through a formal design process considering right of way and drainage needs
along the corridor.
The commission voted 4-0 to transfer $1 million from the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) IV District 5 Discretionary Funds for the project.
Highway 4A is just under seven miles from Highway 4 in Byrneville to Highway 29 in Century. Highway 4 is about 13.5 miles long from Highway 97 near the Davisville Community to Century.
The third and final phase of an Escambia County project to widen portions Highway 164 across the northern part of the county is currently underway. When completed later this month, 2.16 miles of the dangerously narrow roadway will have been widened.
