[dougdirt]

scoring change in the Billings game removed one of Stephenson's earned runs. It has been reflected in the numbers above.

[mace]

A three-run shot by Brandon Dailey puts Billings up 4-3 in the middle of the seventh.

[mace]

Beau Mills unloads again. A three-run bomb in the top of the ninth with Greene (3-4) and Brian Peacock (2-4) aboard gives Pensacola an 8-7 lead headed into the bottom. The Wahoos have scored all eight runs from the sixth inning on.

Justin Freeman finishes it and Pensacola pulls out a nice come-from-behind victory, 8-7.

The Wahoos' lineup is not the strongest, but Mills seems to have given it a nice boost. Given the very strong pitching on that roster, Pensacola could be poised to make a run in the second half.

Billings goes down, 6-4.

[bellhead]

Looks like Steph... ran into some problems today with the defense 1 ER while 4 were scored...

[mace]

Pat Doyle took a pounding (though three runs were unearned) and Bakersfield trails 9-5 in the middle of the seventh. Hamilton has two walks and two steals (89). Bowe also has two steals. Selsky has a pair of doubles.

Not sure why Justice French has been lately pitching out of the bullpen instead of the rotation. I suppose it could be an innings thing.

[mace]

Hamilton's up to 90. Kurtis Muller hit a 2-run HR for Bakersfield to pull the Blaze within 9-7 in the top of the 9th. With one out, Hamilton singled and stole on the first pitch, his third of the day. Seems like an odd time to steal except that it precludes the DP.

[mace]

Singles by Niko Vasquez and Dominic D'Anna make it 9-8 with one out, runners on first and second.

Bakersfield has made five errors in the game.

[mace]

Mattair's weak single to right ties the game. The runners advance to second and third on the throw. Duran up.

[mace]

Duran bounces one off the SS for an infield single. D'Anna scores to give the Blaze a 10-9 lead but Mattair is tagged out between second and third.

Edit: They changed it to an error on the SS.

[mace]

Selsky doubles to right. Second and third with two outs (still 10-9). The outs came on a disputed third strike call (on Bowe) and the baserunning gaffe.

[mace]

Chris Berset, who started the inning with a single, smacks a double down the right field line to plate two more. Seven runs for Bakersfield in the ninth to make it 12-9. The Blaze's biggest inning of the season.

[mace]

Muller singles in Berset. Eight runs in the inning. It's 13-9. Crazy.

[mace]

Bowe's stand-up triple scores Muller. Tenth hit of the inning. Nine runs. It's 14-9.
