PENSACOLA, Fla. (July 24, 2019) - The Mobile BayBears, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, grabbed an early lead but fell 4-2 to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Wednesday night at Blue Wahoos Stadium.
The BayBears (40-59 overall, 13-18 second half) plated a pair of runs in the top of the third. Jahmai Jones hit a two-out RBI double and scored on a Zane Gurwitz single. It was the fifth time Mobile has scored first on the current six-game losing streak.
Two of the four Pensacola (51-50, 13-18) runs were unearned, due to four BayBears errors. Aaron Whitefield cut Mobile's lead in half in the fourth by stealing second and scoring on a pair of throwing errors. Lewin Diaz put the Blue Wahoos in front in the fifth, crossing home after a missed catch error. It was part of a three-run frame for Pensacola.
