Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release


The Tennessee Smokies scored in the bottom of the 10th inning to break a 1-1 tie for a 2-1 win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos on Friday night at Smokies Park. Christian Villanueva, who broke up last night's no-hit bid, singled home Albert Almora for the winning run evening the series at a game apiece.

Pace High grad, Addison Russell, got the scoring started with a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning. That would be the only Smokies run until the 10th, it was also Russell's first hit of the series. Pensacola got even with a two-out RBI single from Ross Perez in the top of the third inning. Perez now has five RBI over the last two games.

Daniel Corcino started for the Blue Wahoos and pitched well without recording a decision. The right-hander retired eight straight after Russell's first inning home run. He allowed just the 1 R/ER over 6.0 innings with three strikeouts, a walk and only four hits. He dueled most of the night with Smokies starter Corey Black. He also allowed just 1 R/ER over 6.0 innings with seven strikeouts and two walks.

Offensively, the Wahoos had three hitters with multi-hit games. Perez, Brodie Greene and Juan Duran all finished 2-for-4.

The Smokies loaded the bases on three walks in the seventh inning, but Ben Klimesh got the final out of the inning before working a scoreless eighth inning. After working a perfect ninth inning, James Walczak allowed the winning run in the 10th to suffer the loss. Smokies reliever Frank Batista picked up the win after one scoreless inning in the top of the 10th.
