Pensacola Blue Wahoos: A Week of Highs and Lows

Chattanooga Series: A Mixed Bag

The Blue Wahoos faced off against the Chattanooga Lookouts in a series that saw a dramatic shift in momentum. After a doubleheader sweep where they scored an impressive 36 runs, the Wahoos were kept largely quiet in a 2-1 loss on Thursday night. Rhett Lowder, the reigning Southern League Pitcher of the Week, pitched 6.0 innings of three-hit, one-run ball to secure the win for Chattanooga. The Wahoos' lone run came from a solo homer by Cody Morissette in the fifth inning.

Recent Wins and Losses

In the days leading up to the Chattanooga series, the Blue Wahoos had some notable performances. They exploded in extras to win their sixth straight game, scoring two runs in the tenth and four more in the eleventh. This victory kept them undefeated in extra-inning games, improving their record to a perfect 7-0 in such contests.

However, the team also experienced a four-game slide, which they eventually broke with a big inning against the Biloxi Shuckers. The M-Braves later swept the Blue Wahoos behind a strong pitching performance by Hackenberg.
