Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The Chattanooga Lookouts jumped out to a seven run lead through the first three innings, and the Wahoos couldn't catch up. Pensacola rallied multiple times and came as close as a run, but the Lookouts prevailed 14-10 in the series opener at AT&T Field.

Yorman Rodriguez set the tone offensively for Pensacola with a 3-for-4 game including a grand slam and five RBI but it wasn't enough. His blast capped a five-run fourth inning which helped Pensacola make an 8-1 deficit, 8-6. But, as they did all game, Chattanooga responded to keep the Wahoos at arm's length.

Four Blue Wahoos pitchers combined to allow the 14 Lookouts runs, and all were earned. Daniel Corcino (L, 7-6) started it, and he was charged with 8 R/ER on just four hits with four walks over 3.0 innings. He took the loss, his sixth of the year.

The ball was carrying well all night for both teams. They combined to hit five home runs in the game. Two of the Lookouts blasts were three-run shots and one was a two-run homer. For the Wahoos Rodriguez had the grand slam and Seth Mejias-Brean launched a solo shot, his first with the Wahoos.

Chattanooga's starter Nick Struck struggled on the mound as well. He was charged with 6 R/ER on eight hits over 4.0 innings in a no-decision. Juan Noriega (W, 4-4) earned the win with two innings in relief, despite allowing a pair of runs.

Pensacola will look to get even in the series on Wednesday. The Blue Wahoos will send RHP Jon Moscot (4-6, 2.82) to the mound against Lookouts RHP Matt Shelton (2-1, 3.67). First pitch is set for 10:15 a.m. (CT) from AT&T Field in Chattanooga.
