Schultz Quiets Wahoos In 4-2 Loss To Barons
May 1, 2025
written by Erik Bremer
In a Wednesday morning matinee, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos offense was slow to wake up in a 4-2 loss to the Birmingham Barons.
A highly-publicized battle of two left-handed pitching prospects saw Birmingham’s Noah Schultz (W, 1-1) pitch a career-high 6.0 innings of two-run ball, helping the Barons (12-10) even up the series one game apiece.
Blue Wahoos starter Robby Snelling (L, 2-1) surrendered the game’s first run in the second inning, as Ryan Galanie and Caden Connor each doubled for a 1-0 Barons lead. The Blue Wahoos (16-7) tied things up in the third on a Shane Sasaki double and Jake Thompson RBI fielder’s choice, and took a brief 2-1 lead in the fourth on Jared Serna’s two-out RBI single.
The Barons took advantage of a Pensacola mistake in the bottom of the fourth, as Mario Camilletti reached on a catchable fly ball lost in the afternoon sun between Sasaki in center field and Kemp Alderman in right field. Connor tied the game 2-2 with an RBI single, and scored the go-ahead run on a two-out William Bergolla RBI single.
Lane Ramsey worked effective relief, escaping an inherited bases-loaded jam in the fourth and contributing 2.1 innings of scoreless ball, but Schultz protected his 3-2 lead for the Barons. The lefty, ranked the top prospect in the White Sox organization, got stronger as the afternoon went along and finished with a flourish by retiring his final seven batters and completing 6.0 innings for the first time in his career.
Birmingham added an insurance run in the seventh with doubles from Bergolla and Galanie, and got 3.0 scoreless innings of relief from Andrew Dalquist and Peyton Pallette (S, 3) to close out the 4-2 final.
The Blue Wahoos continue their series on Thursday against the Barons. First pitch from Regions Field is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the profound sorrow we are experiencing as we navigate this unimaginable loss.
Mr. Kameron Austin Davis, who was 31 years old, sadly passed away on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, in Atmore, Alabama. Born in Pensacola, Florida, Kameron spent most of his life in Atmore, where he formed many friendships and connections. His memory will be cherished by those who knew him and loved him.

Music filled his days, setting the perfect backdrop as he played video games. Spending time with his family, especially his little girl, is what made him happiest. Though he was laid back, he had a strong will and always ready to lend a helping hand to those around him.
