Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release
Pensacola strands 15 in third straight loss JACKSON, Tenn. - For the second straight night the Generals jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back on their way to a 5-1 win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Thursday night at the Ballpark at Jackson. The Wahoos pushed across their first run of the series with two outs in the ninth.
The Generals opened the game with back-to-back doubles and both were converted to runs on sacrifice flies to give Jackson an early 2-0 lead. Nate Melendres launched a solo home run to make it 3-0 in the second inning. Blue Wahoos starting pitcher Robert Stephenson (L, 2-2) went on to retire 11 of the next 12 batters he faced. The only man to reach got on with an error. Stephenson allowed a one-out double followed by a walk in the sixth to bring an end to his night. Both came home to score on an RBI single by Manny Pina off Tim Adleman, but the runs were charged to Stephenson.
Ross Perez led the way offensively for the Blue Wahoos with a 4-for-5 game including a triple and Pensacola's only RBI. The Wahoos had base runners in every inning and left a season-high 15 runners on base.
Stephenson was tagged with the loss and charged with all 5R/ER. He walked two and struck out four. Jochi Ogando went four innings in the start for the Generals. He didn't allow a run and walked three with five strikeouts. Stephen Shackleford (W, 3-1) earned the win out of the bullpen. He allowed just 1R/0ER over the final 2.2 innings.
The Wahoos look for their first win in four games with RHP Jon Moscot (1-1, 2.08) on the mound against Generals RHP Trevor Miller (0-3, 5.40). First pitch is slated for 7:05 at the Ballpark at Jackson.
