The Shuckers followed that up with 9 runs across the next four innings, aided by two more home runs from Blake Burke, his league-leading 5th and 6th of the season. That, along with 12 walks issued by the Wahoos pitching staff, was enough to seal Pensacola’s fate.
Some bright spots came from Michael Snyder and Brendan Jones, who each hit their first home runs of the season in the late innings. Reliever Stephen Jones put together a nice outing, pitching 3.0 innings and only allowing one run on one hit and no walks. Logan Whitaker pitched a hitless, scoreless frame in the 8th.
