Pensacola and Chattanooga are playing some free baseball. In a continuing theme tonight, the Blue Fish are hammering the horsehide. They jumped out to a 5-zip lead in the first and then watched that evaporate. Pensacola had to score two in the bottom of the ninth to send it into extras - back-to-back jacks by LaMarre and Mattair.

Arms - Daniel Renken pitched uninspired baseball, giving up 6 runs in five plus innings of work. Kyle Lotzkar came on and looks like a candidate for extended spring training. In one-third of an inning he gave up a hit, two runs, and walked three. His ERA now stands at 11.88. The relief pitching has been pretty solid after Lotzkar. Manno, Ravin, Hyde, Ellis and Van Mil have pitched well collectively.

Bats - Bryson Smith has singled and doubled. Ryan LaMarre has singled, homered and walked. Travis Mattair has homered, walked twice and scored four runs. Devin Lohman has singled, homered and walked, while driving home five. He had a first-inning salami.

Pensacola has a runner on first with one out in the bottom of the 11th, scored tied at 9. Heading into the 13th. Still 9-9.

Cueto earned the win in his second rehab start, and is now 9-1 in his history of pitching for the Dragons. According to the Dayton Dragons website, after he exited the game, he threw 30 more pitches in the bullpen. Looking good for the return to the Reds.

Regarding that Blue Wahoos game, it is now final in 13, with a final score of 10-9.

Yes, The Durango Kid scores the winning run in the bottom of the 13th for Pensacola. He walks, scoots around to third on Bryson Smith's third hit on the night and then scores on a wild pitch. 10-9 Pensacola.

Perfect night for the Reds' organization.
