Blue Wahoos Cruise To Seventh Consecutive Win
May 19, 2022
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos didn’t let a pair of off days disrupt their winning streak, as they defeated the Montgomery Biscuits 7-1 on Wednesday night for their seventh win in a row.
Cody Mincey (W, 3-1) received his third straight winning decision, allowing only one run on six hits over 5.0 innings.
Montgomery, playing with only 20 players on their active roster after Tuesday’s game was postponed due to health and safety protocols, got length out of starter Zack Trageton (L, 0-2). The righty pitched into the sixth inning, though a persistent effort from the Blue Wahoos offense kept the momentum on Pensacola’s side.
In the third inning, the Blue Wahoos scored three runs to take an early lead. J.D. Orr reached on a bunt single in his 2022 Double-A debut, then scored on a Luis Aviles Jr. RBI single. José Devers, also newly added to the Pensacola roster, lined a double to right-center before Griffin Conine brought home a run with an RBI groundout. With runners at the corners, Paul McIntosh broke from first and got in a rundown to allow Devers to score from third and give the Blue Wahoos a 3-0 advantage.
Aviles hit a solo homer, his fourth of the year, in the fifth inning. Cobie Fletcher-Vance hit an RBI single in the sixth, and McIntosh brought home a pair of insurance runs with a double in the ninth.
Mincey handed things off to the Pensacola bullpen in the sixth, and Anthony Maldonado, Jefry Yan and Josh Simpson combined to strike out 10 Montgomery batters over 4.0 scoreless innings. For Simpson, his 18.2 consecutive scoreless innings marks the longest active streak in the minors.
The Blue Wahoos have now won seven in a row, their longest streak since 2018, and lead the South Division by 2.5 games after Biloxi’s loss to Mississippi.
The Blue Wahoos continue their series against the Montgomery Biscuits on Thursday.

Man Charged With Child Abuse, Battery After Victims Escape In Byrneville, ECSO Says
May 18, 2022
A Flomaton man was arrested this week on charges related to an incident last December.
Zachery Sean Satterwhite, 29, was charged with child abuse domestic violence, battery domestic violence and grand theft of a motor vehicle.
On December 15, 2021, two witnesses told Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies that they observed a white female who appeared to be beaten jump from a Chevrolet Tahoe. The victim was crying with blood on her face and clothes. She told deputies that Satterwhite had been drinking and forced her to leave her home in Flomaton by threatening to harm a child, an arrest report states.
Satterwhite then allegedly drove her vehicle into Florida and began to hit in the face in the area of West Highway 4 and Byrneville Road. Satterwhite then struck the child in his head despite the victim’s attempt to shield him, ECSO said. She was able to exit the vehicle before Satterwhite drove off, the report continues.
Deputies noted the victim has swelling to her face and lip, and minor lacerations on her face. The child had swelling on the side of his head, and blood on his person and clothing, deputies said.
He is being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond for failure to appear on May 2021 Florida Highway Patrol charges of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, giving a false name to law enforcement and driving with a revoked license.
The stolen vehicle was recovered by the Atmore Police Department on December 16, 2021, after it was found stuck in a field on Robinsonville Road, and Satterwhite fled in another vehicle, according to police. Jail records indicate he was charged with attempting to elude, possession of a controlled substance, receiving stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia by Alabama authorities.
14,000 Escambia Voters Need To Update Their ID Information
May 18, 2022
The Escambia County Supervisor of Elections is mailing letters to voters whose registration records do not include key identification information.
The Elections Office is sending the letter to more than 14,000 voters whose voter registration records do not include either a Florida driver’s license number, state ID card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Voters who have registered to vote since 2006 were required to provide this information when registering.
Some voters who registered prior to 2006 are missing this information from their records. A recent change in Florida law now requires election offices to verify one of these numbers before updating voter addresses submitted electronically or by phone, or processing Vote-by-Mail ballot requests.
The easiest, fastest, and most secure way for a voter to provide the ID information is through Florida’s online voter registration system. Using RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov, a voter can update their record in just a few minutes and provide the missing information. Alternatively, voters can complete the form enclosed with the letter and return it using the included postage-paid envelope or may visit the Elections Office in person. Under Florida law, this part of a voter’s record is confidential and exempt from public disclosure.
Voters with questions are encouraged to contact the Supervisor of Elections by email at soe@escambiavotes.gov, or by phone a (850) 595-3900.
