Columbus Catfish News Release
Columbus, GA - Two home runs by RF Sergio Pedroza led the way as Columbus (24-23) topped the Charleston RiverDogs (26-21) 9-2 Thursday at Golden Park. Pedroza was 2-for-4 on the night with three RBI and three runs. LHP Brent Leach (4-2) limited the RiverDogs to two runs to pick up the win.
The Catfish used four singles and two walks in the first inning to take a 4-0 lead. The inning included one-run singles by 1B Jason Mooneyham and C Juan Apodaca and a two-run hit by CF Lucas May. They added a run in the second inning on a solo home run by Pedroza, his ninth of the season. In the fifth inning May singled to score one run for a 6-2 lead. 1B David Sutherland joined the hit parade with an RBI single of his own in the seventh inning. In the eighth inning Pedroza capped off the night with a soaring two-run blast, his second of the night and team-leading 10th of the season.
Three Columbus relievers combined to shut out Charleston over the last four innings. RHP Matt Gomez de Segura pitched the sixth inning followed by RHP Jesus Rodriguez in the seventh and RHP John Meloan in the final two innings. The trio gave up one hit and three walks. Meloan, activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, has not allowed a hit or a run in two appearances spanning four innings with the Catfish.
LHP Wilkins Arias (2-2) gave up five runs in the first two innings and took the loss.
The Catfish look to complete a sweep of the RiverDogs Friday with first pitch scheduled for 7:00pm. RHP Mario Alvarez (1-5, 5.62) will face RHP Bryan Villalona (4-1, 3.04). For tickets or more information call (706) 571-8866 or visit www.ColumbusCatfish.com.
