Generals Draw Even In Series With 7-3 Win Over Wahoos

Despite a two-run homer by Donald Lutz, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos fell short against the Jackson Generals 7-3 on Sunday night at the Ballpark in Jackson.

The Generals scored four runs in the first inning against Blue Wahoos starter Daniel Renken. Each of the first four Jackson batters reached against him, and all came home to score in the inning. After that, Renken settled down and retired nine in a row before the Generals got to him for two more on a two-run home run by Abraham Almonte in the fourth inning.

Pensacola never got closer the two runs behind after the home run by Lutz, despite scoring an additional run in the fifth.

Renken (1-1) took the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits over five innings. Jackson starter Brett Shankin earned the win after giving up three runs on five hits over six innings.

Lutz led the way offensively for the Blue Wahoos with his 2-for-4 game. Theo Bowe also broke out with a 2-for-4 contest. The two hits were his first two of the season.

The two teams will continue the series on Monday night. RHP Josh Smith (1-2, 10.97) will start for the Blue Wahoos against Generals LHP Roenis Elias (0-1, 3.06). First pitch is set for 7:05 at the Ballpark in Jackson.

Century Man Runs 9/11 Memorial 5K In New York City

Runners from across the world — including one local man — honored the Boston Marathon victims while remembering the tragedy of 9/11 during a 5K run Sunday in New York City.

Jerry Sanders of Century joined about 3,000 runners and walkers in the 9/11 Memorial 5K run and walk, a untimed fundraiser for the yet to be opened 9/11 Memorial Museum. The event started at Pier 57 and continued 3.1 miles to the World Trade Center.

But the finish line was not the end of the race for Sanders.

“I could not stop,” Sanders said in an email Sunday evening. “Completed the 5K then walked around the city for over 4 hours waving my flag and meeting people. I (my flag) sure was popular! I could  not count the people that wanted their pic taken with me.”

Along the way, someone noticed Sander’s “Marines” hat, confirmed that he was a Marine, and led the crowd in the Marine Corp Hymn.

“They sang while I choked back tears, as I was fighting tears from the start,” he said. “Such great people New Yorkers.”

At the finish, a lady approached Sanders and asked why he was carrying the flag, and he explained it was memory of the 9/11 victims and  their families. She said her husband had been killed in the North Tower collapse. She asked Sanders if he would meet her husband, and he accompanied her to the site of the north tower where she pointed out her husband’s name on the memorial, rubbing her hand across his name.

“That did it for me,” Sanders said. “I could not talk, only hug her.”

“Words just won’t do,” he said, calling the day an experience of a lifetime.

Wahoos Win 4-3 In 11 To Open Jackson Series

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos opened their 10-game roadtrip with an 11-inning 4-3 win over the Jackson Generals at the Ballpark in Jackson in Jackson, Tenn. on Saturday night. Wahoos shortstop Devin Lohman drove in all four runs in the winning effort including a two-run homer, his first of the year, in the seventh inning.

Pensacola struck first when Ryan LaMarre scored from third on a bases loaded walk to Lohman by Generals Starter Taijuan Walker. That was the final run the Wahoos would scratch across against the Jackson ace. The Blue Wahoos only got two more baserunners against Walker, both were scattered walks.

Blue Wahoos starter Ryan Dennick held the Generals at bay until they broke through against him with three straight hits in the fourth. James Jones started the rally with a solo homer with one out before John Hicks doubled. Vannie Catricala brought Hicks home a batter later with a single off the left field wall to put the Generals in front 2-1. It stayed that way until Lohman’s two-run homer in the seventh off Jackson reliever Forrest Snow.

Jackson drew even in the bottom of the seventh when Abraham Almonte scored on an infield single by Francisco Martinez.

Both teams traded zeros into the 11^th inning until the Wahoos cashed in on a leadoff walk to Donald Lutz. After he was singled around to third by Bryson Smith, Lohman drove him in for the go-ahead run on a fielder’s choice to the third baseman Catricala.

After striking out the side in order in the 10th, Lee Hyde (1-2) retired the Generals in order again in the bottom of the 11^th to seal the win for Pensacola. Though he didn’t factor into the decision, Dennick worked six strong innings, allowing just the two runs on five hits while striking out eight. For Jackson, Walker took a no-decision after allowing just the one unearned run over six innings. He fanned six for the game and surrendered only one hit. Moises Hernandez (0-1) took the loss after giving up the winning run in the 11^th. It was the sole run he allowed over two innings.

The Wahoos and Generals continue the series on Sunday from the Ballpark in Jackson. RHP Daniel Renken (1-0, 0.71) will start for the Blue Wahoos against Generals RHP Brett Shankin (0-0, 1.50). First pitch is set for 6:05 p.m.

Lady Royals Win District Tournament

The Jay Lady Royals beat the Chipley Tigers 8-6 Thursday night to claim the Class 1A Rural District 2 Softball District championship.

The Royals were down 1-0 in the second inning when they turned things around to a 4-1 lead.  The Royals’ Camille Driver scored on an error by the Lady Tigers, and a Harley Tagert Single brought Destiny Herring home. A line drive from Michaela Stewart sent Chassity McCranie across the plate. Tagert scored on a double from Ashlyn Geck to make it 4-1.

In the bottom of the third, Driver scored on a Chipley pitcher error for a 5-1 advantage. Chipley answered, evening it up at 5-5.

Olivia Wright and Stewart scored in the bottom of the fourth, and Taylor Moore added run on a line drive single from Bayleigh Upton.

The top two teams in the district head to  regionals, so both Jay and Chipley advance. The Jay Lady Royals will host Central High on April 30.

Pensacola Wahoos Snap Skid With 6-3 Win Over Suns

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos offense awakened from its nearly weeklong slumber by pounding their way past the Jackonsville Suns 6-3 on Tuesday night in front of 3,358 fans at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium.

Pensacola rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to score six runs in their first three at-bats. In the last of the first inning, Donald Lutz launched a laser over the right field wall for a two-run homer, scoring Brodie Greene who had singled earlier in the frame. The blast was Lutz’s fourth of the season, the most in the Southern League in the young 2013 campaign, and it knotted the game at two apiece.

The Wahoos added to their lead with a four-run third inning against Jacksonville starter James Leverton. With one out, Ryan LaMarre and Greene singled before scampering home on a two-run opposite-field double from Bryson Smith to give Pensacola a 4-2 lead. Lutz was then hit by a pitch and after a lineout and a pitching change, Devin Lohman dropped a double down the left field line to score Smith and Lutz to give the Wahoos a four-run advantage.

That was more than enough for Pensacola starter Josh Smith (1-2) who had his best start of the season by giving up two runs on six hits over five frames. Smith’s lone mistake was yielding a two-out, two-run single in the first to Mark Canha to give the Suns a brief 2-0 lead. Smith was also able to wiggle out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth by forcing Chris Gutierrez to pop up in foul territory to the catcher.

Jacksonville scored a run in the ninth on a single from Daniel Pertusati and brought the tying run to the plate with one out, but Lee Hyde struck out Derek Dietrich and Curtis Partch came on to earn his third save of the year by punching out Chris Gutierrez.

Leverton (0-1) picked up the loss in his first start of the season after his first three appearances of the year came out of the bullpen. The southpaw went just 2.2 innings, allowing six runs (all earned) on six hits. Jordan Conley, Scott McGough and Rett Varner kept Pensacola at bay the rest of the contest, limiting the Wahoos to just three hits over the final 5.1 frames.

The series continues on Wednesday night as Tim Crabbe looks for his second win of the season for Pensacola against Jacksonville southpaw Adam Conley. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Jacksonville Gets Extra Inning Win Over Blue Wahoos

Kyle Jensen launched a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning, accounting for the only run in the game as the Jacksonville Suns extending their winning streak to five games with a 1-0 win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos on Monday night at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium in front of 4,018 fans.

Neither team mounted much of a rally through the first 10 innings of the contest, as both offenses continued their respective early-season struggles. Pensacola had only two runners reach third base the entire game with the best chance coming in the fourth. The Wahoos had runners on second and third with two outs for hot-hitting Tucker Barnhart, but starter Brian Flynn got Barnhart to ground out to end the threat.

Pensacola also had a runner thrown out at the plate to end the third inning as David Vidal was caught trying to score from second on an infield single from Ryan LaMarre.

Flynn, the Southern League’s strikeout leader entering the game, struck out just two over six innings but yielded only three base knocks. Edgar Olmos (1-0) earned the win for the Suns by tossing two innings of relief with two strikeouts. Michael Brady picked up his fourth save of the year with a perfect bottom of the 11th.

Jacksonville had a base runner in every inning except the eighth and 10th before finally scratching across a run on Jensen’s first round-tripper of the year. Chris Manno (0-1) took the loss for Pensacola as he gave up the run on three hits while striking out three in the 11th.

Blue Wahoos starter Daniel Renken went 5.2 innings in his second Double-A start, allowing five hits while striking out two and walking three. Renken continued a strong stretch of starting pitching for the Wahoos. Pensacola starters have given up just two runs in their last 27.2 innings pitched, an ERA of 0.65 over the last five games. However, the Wahoos are a combined 1-4 in their last five.

A big highlight of the evening was the presentation from Ballparks.com’s Joe Mock, awarding the Blue Wahoos their plaques for earning “Ballpark of the Year” last season from the website.

The five-game series continues on Tuesday night with Josh Smith taking the ball for the Wahoos against the Suns’ James Leverton. First pitch is set for 7:00 p.m. from Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. It’s Team Tuesday and select players will sign autographs on the concourse before the game.
