De Horta dazzles with immaculate inning in BayBears victory

MOBILE, Ala. (April 8, 2019) - Adrian De Horta pitched an immaculate seventh inning for the Mobile BayBears, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, in a 7-5 win over the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Monday night at Hank Aaron Stadium.
De Horta needed just nine pitches to strike out Ernie De La Trinidad, Caleb Hamilton, and Jordan Gore in the top of the seventh. After putting away De La Trinidad on a pair of called strikes and a foul tip into the catcher's mitt, Hamilton whiffed on three straight pitches. Gore looked at a pair of strikes to begin his at-bat, and then De Horta capped off the immaculate inning with a swing and miss.
The BayBears (2-3) plated six runs in the fourth inning to take the lead after falling behind 2-0 on an early Mitchell Kranson homer. Mobile sent 10 batters to the plate, scoring runs on hits from Brendon Sanger , Brandon Sandoval , Jack Kruger , and Jhoan Urena . Brandon Marsh also contributed with a bases-loaded walk.
Zac Ryan (1-1) earned the win with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief early in the game. Adam Hofacket recorded the final two outs of the game to earn his first save. Hofacket entered after Hamilton hit a two-run homer for Pensacola (3-2) to trim the BayBears lead down to two.
