Mobile BayBears News Release
The Mobile BayBears snapped a two game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Friday night at Hank Aaron Stadium. Mobile scored twice in the first inning, giving BayBears RHP Chase Anderson, a 2-0 lead. The Blue Wahoos tied the game in the top of the third inning, but Mobile reclaimed the lead, scoring two runs in the bottom half of the third. The BayBears win, combined with a loss by the Montgomery Biscuits, means that the two teams are now tied for first place in the Southern League overall standings.
Marc Krauss gave the BayBears an early lead with a RBI groundout in the first inning, scoring David Nick. One batter later, Matt Davidson hit a sacrifice fly that extended Mobile's lead, 2-0. In the third inning with the score tied 2-2, Davidson reached on a throwing error that resulted in Chris Owings and Krauss both crossing home plate to give Mobile a 4-2 advantage. Nick extended the BayBears lead 6-2, with a two-run double in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Pensacola's only two runs came in the top of the third inning when Billy Hamilton and Ryan LaMarre scored on back-to-back RBI singles from Beau Mills and Donald Lutz. After five innings of work, Anderson allowed just two runs on six hits, good enough to earn his third win of the season. The BayBears tagged RHP Daniel Corcino with the loss, scoring six runs on six hits in five innings on the mound.
