BayBears Drop Finale 4-2 in Tennessee

KODAK, TN - The BayBears scored twice in the 9^th and had the tying run in scoring position with two outs, but ultimately fell 4-2 in the finale of a five game series at Smokies Park. 

Bo Schultz suffered his fourth loss of the season for Mobile, though he pitched well for the majority of his 15^th start of the season. An uncharacteristic loss of control in the bottom of the 2^nd led to three runs, including two forced in on bases loaded walks with just one out. 

Tennessee led 3-0 after four, and added another in the 5^th on a solo home run from Arismendy Alcantara to make 4-0 into the 6^th.

The BayBears bullpen turned in another dominant performance in the 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th innings, as Bryan Woodall, Willy Paredes, and Jake Barrett combined to record all nine of their outs via the strikeout, while retiring nine of the 10 they faced.

Mobile's 9^th inning comeback included a pair of singles, a walk and an error, with the two runs coming in on a Nick Evans groundout and a Raywilly Gomez sacrifice fly.

With the loss the BayBears now sit at 75-59 overall and 36-28 in the second half with five regular season games remaining. Mobile will host Pensacola in a five game set beginning Thursday night at Hank Aaron Stadium with first pitch scheduled for 7:05.
