Rocket City Trash Pandas News Release
MADISON, ALABAMA - Following a victory in game one of a doubleheader, the Trash Pandas couldn't find the same success in the second game, falling 9-3 to the Barons on Saturday.
After sitting in game one, Birmingham catcher Edgar Quero picked up where he left off with his third two-run home run of the series in the first to get the Barons in front.
Outfielder Terrell Tatum kept the Barons hot start going with a single to score two in the second followed by a run-scoring base hit from designated hitter Wilfred Veras.
With the bases loaded later in the inning, Quero got hit by a pitch to give the Barons an early 6-0 lead.
Trash Pandas starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz (L, 0-1) left the game shortly after. He allowed six runs on five hits in 1.1 innings.
Rocket City got on the board in the fourth when outfielder Gustavo Campero was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
That was all the Trash Pandas would get on starting pitcher Jairo Iriarte before Juan Then (W, 1-0), took over in relief and tossed two innings of his own.
Tatum continued his impressive day with a two-run home run in the sixth before infielder Bryan Ramos got hit with the bases loaded to drive in another.
Outfielder Tucker Flint got a run back in the bottom half with a double to score infielder Eric Wagaman, the hit would be the first of the night for the Trash Pandas.
Rocket City attempted a late rally in the seventh, Wagaman drove in a run on a fielder's choice, but nothing came after as the Trash Pandas split the doubleheader.
