Blue Wahoos Head To All-Star Break With 7-5 Win
July 18, 2022
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos finished off the unofficial first half of their season with a 7-5 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts on Sunday afternoon, taking five of six games in their homestand for a series win.
Paul McIntosh was 3-for-4 and Bubba Hollins hit a pivotal three-run double in support of A.J. Ladwig (W, 4-3), who pitched 5.0 solid innings.
The Blue Wahoos struck in the first against Spencer Stockton, the first of six different Chattanooga relievers in what amounted to a bullpen game, with a two-run double from Griffin Conine to take a 2-0 lead.
Alex McGarry hit a solo homer for the Lookouts in the second, and took a brief 3-2 lead in the fifth thanks to a Nick Quintana RBI double and Ivan Johnson RBI single. The lead would not last, however, as the Blue Wahoos turned the game around with a five-run bottom of the fifth.
J.C. Keys (L, 1-2) allowed singles to Ray-Patrick Didder and McIntosh before departing, and Stevie Branche loaded the bases with a walk to Conine before Hollins lifted a fly ball down the right field line that was misplayed into a bases-clearing double. J.D. Orr followed with an RBI single, and scored thanks to his second of three stolen bases and a wild pitch.
Johnson hit an RBI double and Leonardo Rivas hit an RBI single in the seventh to draw the Lookouts to a pair of runs at 7-5, but Sean Reynolds and Eli Villalobos (S, 6) got the final six outs to seal the Blue Wahoos win.
The Blue Wahoos will be off for the next four days as Major League Baseball plays the 92nd All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. They return to action on Friday in Biloxi as they take on the Shuckers.

Wahoos Win 2-1 Over Chattanooga Lookouts
July 17, 2022
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos got three perfect innings from rehabbing Marlins starter Edward Cabrera on their way to a 2-1 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts on Saturday night.
Cabrera, working his way back from a right elbow injury, needed only 31 pitches to retire all nine batters he faced. Cody Mincey (W, 5-4) pitched in long relief in his regular rotation spot, earning the win with 4.2 innings of one-run ball.
José Devers grounded an RBI single to left field with two outs in the second against Eduardo Salazar (L, 5-9), giving the Blue Wahoos a 1-0 lead. Victor Victor Mesa hit a solo homer in the fifth to extend the lead to 2-0.
Mincey allowed an RBI single to Michael Siani in the top of the sixth, but didn’t run into any more trouble until the top of the eighth. The righty departed with two on and two out, and Colton Hock (S, 9) got the final out to preserve the 2-1 lead.
Hock came back out for the ninth, working around a one-out double from Miguel Hernandez to lock down a series win for the Blue Wahoos.
The win was Kevin Randel’s 100th in his second season as manager of the Blue Wahoos.
The Blue Wahoos wrap up their series against the Chattanooga Lookouts on Sunday.
Lookouts Beat The Wahoos 9-3
July 16, 2022
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos could not overcome a five-run first inning on Friday night, falling 9-3 to the Chattanooga Lookouts as their four-game winning streak came to a close.
Bubba Hollins provided the lone offensive highlight after a 53-minute pregame rain delay, his first home run of the season in the bottom of the seventh inning.
The Lookouts ambushed Pensacola starter Zach King (L, 0-2) in the first, scoring five runs on six singles to take an early 5-0 lead. They did the same in the fifth inning, as an Allan Cerda two-run homer anchored a four-run effort to put Chattanooga ahead 9-1.
Carson Spiers (W, 1-3) pitched well for the Lookouts, working 6.2 solid innings to earn his first Double-A win in 16 starts. The righty departed after allowing the Hollins homer in the seventh, but was given ample run support to pitch with ease all evening.
Pensacola’s bullpen was able to keep the Lookouts in single digits, as Eli Villalobos, Sean Reynolds and Jefry Yan combined for 4.2 scoreless innings of relief.
The Blue Wahoos continue their series against the Chattanooga Lookouts on Saturday.
