Montgomery first baseman Michael Sheridan led off the third with a double before back-to-back walks loaded the bases for Figueroa, who deposited the second pitch of the at bat over the right-center field wall.
The Blue Wahoos got off to a 3-0 lead in the second thanks in part to a pair of run-scoring extra-base hits.

Pensacola would then take advantage of a fielding error for their third score.

Blue Wahoos starter Curtis Partch (3.0 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO) suffered the loss after allowing five earned runs on seven hits in three frames.
Sheridan (3-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 3B), along with Figueroa (2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 5 RBI) and shortstop Hak-Ju Lee (2-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI) recorded multi-hit efforts, while no Pensacola hitters collected two or more hits in the contest.
