Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release


The Blue Wahoos bullpen worked 5.1 scoreless innings as Pensacola bounced back with a 4-2 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts to even their second half record at 1-1. Wahoos starter Tony Cingrani was lifted after just 3.2 innings after throwing 90 pitches and allowing two runs. Five Pensacola relievers followed him up by combining to shut down the Lookouts by allowing just four base runners the rest of the way.

Lookouts starting pitcher Ethan Martin put Chattanooga in front with an BRI single in the second scoring Brahiam Maldonado from third.

Pensacola was quick to answer with a run of their own in the top of the third. With two outs in the inning, David Vidal doubled home Brodie Greene from second to even the score.

Chattanooga struck again for the final time with a run in the fourth to move back in front 2-1. It was another two out hit, this time by Rafael Ynoa scoring Nick Buss from third, who led the inning off with a single.

The Blue Wahoos tied the game and took the lead with a pair of run in the seventh. It all started with a leadoff single by Brian Peacock. Didi Gregorius singled him home later in the inning for the tying run. Gregorius scored on a single by Brodie Greene a batter later to put the Wahoos in front. They added another insurance run an inning later but the combination or Mark Serrano (5-1), Clayton Tanner, Brian Pearl, Wilkin De La Rosa and Justin Freeman wouldn't need it.

Pearl made his Double-A debut by working 1.1 scoreless innings with a pair of strikeouts. Serrano was first in out of the bullpen and he went 1.1 innings allowing just a pair of hits. He got credit for the win in relief. Freeman pitched a perfect ninth to earn his third save of the season. Lookouts reliever Geison Aguasviva (2-5) took the loss after getting charged with two Wahoos runs, one earned, on three hits over 1.2 innings.

Offensively Ryan LaMarre (2-for-5), Gregorius (2-for-3, R, RBI), Greene (2-for-4, R, RBI) and Yordanys Perez (3-for-4, R) all had multi-hit contests leading to the Wahoos win.

The series continues on Saturday when the Blue Wahoos send RHP Kyle Lotzkar (3-2, 3.02) to the mound against RHP Matt Magill (5-3, 4.61). First pitch is set for 6:15 CT with the Pensacola Motorsports Pregame show slated for 6:00 p.m. on 1450 ESPN Pensacola.
