Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release


CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Chattanooga earned a consolation prize in the series finale with a 5-0 win Friday night at AT&T Field.

Rookie Davis's (L, 1-1) fourth rehab start got off to a bumpy start when the second batter of the game, Brent Rooker, unloaded his 20th home run of the season to give the visitors a 1-0. Davis rebounded nicely, posting zeroes in the second and third inning. Trouble was lurking in the fourth when Chattanooga scored four runs in the fourth inning. With the Lookouts already up 2-0, Alex Perez's two-run double was a hammer blow to the Wahoos.

After Davis, both Nick Howard and Wyatt Strahan had encouraging scoreless appearances for the Wahoos by keeping Chattanooga off the board for the rest of the night.

Australian-native Lewis Thorpe (W, 6-4) was brilliant in his second outing since participating in the Sirius XM All-Star Futures game. The southpaw dealt seven shutout innings and allowed two hits while striking out seven.

Pensacola's offense-who had been on a tear over the past week-was held in check in the series finale. On a positive note, TJ Friedl extended his hitting streak to eight games with a single in the ninth inning. However, he was quickly erased on Mitch Nay's double-play grounder.

Despite the loss, Pensacola won the series, winning three games against the Minnesota Twins Double-A affiliate. Pensacola remains undefeated in their last 10 series, having won eight and splitting two.

Pensacola will open their final 10-game homestand, beginning with five games against the Biloxi Shuckers. LHP Seth Varner (5-1, 2.40) will start the opener for the Wahoos and will be opposed by Biloxi's RHP Trey Supak (1-6, 6.93). Saturday's game can be found on the radio at 97.1 The Ticket/1490 AM Milton, BlabTV, and www.bluewahoos.com. Live television coverage is presented by BlabTV with first pitch slated for 6:05 p.m.
