Welcome to Pensacola, Ricardo Cordova. In his first game as a Pelican, Cordova went 4-for-5 and blasted a three-run dinger to put Pensacola ahead for good in a 6-4 win. Fort Worth jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, largely thanks to a three-run homer by RF Carlos Adolfo. But it didn't take long for Pensacola and Cordova to respond. The Pelicans scored twice in the bottom of the first, and Cordova's homer came in the bottom of the second. Pelicans starting pitcher Scott Vander Meer settled down after the first inning to hold the lead and earn the win. He combined with relievers Hunter Davis and Chris Thompson to deny Fort Worth any runs after the first inning. Fort Worth SS Marc Mirizzi had himself a game, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and a stolen base.
