Pensacola's doubleheader is under way. Ryan LaMarre started it with a single but was stranded. Tim "Soft-Shell" Crabbe threw a scoreless first for the Blue Hoos.

Still scoreless after three. LaMarre and Vidal with singles. Soft-Shell has pitched three scoreless, giving up a single and a walk while striking out three. Soft-Shelll might well be a Hermit before he receives any run support.
Crabbe went six sterling innings (2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K), Partch worked the seventh, and Tucker Barnhart (2-2, BB) drove in the game's only run (after a Lutz double) as Pensacola took the first of two.
The Wahoos are getting some serious pitching tonight. They lead the second game 1-0 in the fifth. The starter was Yohan Pino: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K.
. . . Whoopsie. Drew Hayes just gave up the tying run in the sixth.
Pedro Villarreal (6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K) took a tough 2-1 loss for Louisville. Soto drove in the only Bats run with a 2B. He's off to a nice start after being on the DL until yesterday.
Dayton, struggling all year with the bats, managed only five hits but poured across five runs in the eighth--four of them unearned--to beat Great Lakes 8-5. Humberto Valor had a 2-run HR. Joe Hudson drove in a run with a 2B.
Ismael Guillon: 4 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K. Wandy Peralta in relief: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB.
Bakersfield, in hot pursuit of win number one, clings to a 2-1 in the second. It's entrusted to James Allen of the 14.85 ERA.
Kyle Waldrop's second HR in as many nights puts Bakersfield back on top, 3-2, in the third.
Lee Hyde gave up a run in the seventh and Pensacola dropped the second game of the doubleheader, 2-1. The Wahoos had only three hits, one of them a 2B by Steve Selsky.
Batting averages for the Dayton lineup: .167/.174/.160/.120/.190/.083/.188/.000/.333. And yet somehow they managed to drop an 8-spot on Great Lakes tonight. On just five hits.
In the 8th inning they scored five the hard way: single, walk, fly out, error, error, error, wild pitch, sac fly, strike out. Stir in three stolen bases and mix well. So that would be five runs on a hit and a walk. Sweet.
They scored their three runs in the second on just two hits.
2 of the 3 errors didn't even happen on difficult plays. The CF just flat out dropped a fly ball and on the other the 2B just booted an easy grounder. I didn't see the play but it was probably almost routine as well. It more or less looked like they forgot how to play baseball for about 20 minutes.
The Bad News Blaze have finally cracked that goose egg in their win column, beating the Stockton Ports 6-4. Yorman Rodriguez did most of the heavy lifting, going 2-4 with a double, a run scored, and three RBI.
It took three runs in the eighth to pull it off, all scoring on Yorman's two-out two-bagger. Good to see him come through for the club. And good to see Brooks Pinckard get a clean save. Pinckard seems to have a lot going for him, but he's done a whole bunch of struggling in his career.Originally Posted by Steve4192
Did you mean Jean-Luc Pinckard?
Think we are gonna have to change Soto's nickname to two bags... Guys hit 3 doubles in two games since coming off the DL...
