Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release


The Lookouts scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to walk off with a 4-3 win over Pensacola Wednesday afternoon at AT&T Field in Chattanooga. The Blue Wahoos took a 3-2 lead on Juan Duran's solo home run in the eighth inning, but it wasn't enough. The Lookouts have now won the first two games of the five-game set.

Yorman Rodriguez continued his hot hitting with a 2-for-4 game including an RBI single in the third to extend his hitting streak to eight games. He later scored the go-ahead run in the inning to put Pensacola in front 2-1. Duran also had a nice afternoon with a 2-for-4 game.

Jon Moscot started for the Blue Wahoos and went 6.0 innings allowing just 2 R/ER on nine hits. He walked just one and struck out four. Elvin Ramirez (L, 0-2) faced five batters in the ninth inning and retired just one before the Lookouts scored the winning run to take the loss. It was his second blown save of the year.

Matt Shelton made his longest start of the season going 5.1 innings. He was charged with 2 R/ER on two walks, four hits and four strikeouts. He also got a no-decision. Despite allowing the go-ahead home run from Duran in the eighth, Robert Carson picked up the win after pitching the final two innings.

Pensacola will try to bounce back on Thursday night with RHP Michael Lorenzen (4-4, 2.61) heading to the mound against LHP Chris Reed (4-5, 3.00). First pitch is slated for 6:15 p.m. (CT) from AT&T Field in Chattanooga.
