"For the next five innings, however, the Stripers were held at bay as the offense failed to produce anything meaningful. That changed in the top half of the seventh, as Jesus Bastidas - more on him later - worked a bases-loaded walk to bring home Jonathan Ornelas to tie the game at 3-3. In the next at-bat, Luke Waddell came through with a sacrifice fly that scored Chandler Seagle, giving Gwinnett the 4-3 lead. The real backbreaker provided by the Gwinnett offense came in the top of the eighth, as Bastidas homered on a 1-1 pitch, sending the ball over the center field wall for a three-run shot and extending the Gwinnett lead to 7-3."
"It may have taken a 9th inning comeback, but Columbus came away with a win on Wednesday, beating Pensacola by a narrow 6-5 final. Starter Ian Mejia put up a bit of a mixed-bad of results in his outing. Across 5.2 innings of work, the 25-year-old gave up four runs on 10 hits as he was knocked around quite a bit. However, he also managed to strike out seven batters while only holding the Blue Wahoos to the four runs despite allowing double digits in hits."
Gwinnett Stripers rallied late to defeat the Nashville Sounds 7-4. Gwinnett took an early 2-0 lead on a two-RBI single by David McCabe, then surrendered the lead before tying the game in the seventh when Jesus Bastidas drew a bases-loaded walk that scored Jonathan Ornelas. Luke Waddell’s sacrifice fly gave Gwinnett the 4-3 lead, and Bastidas hit a three-run homer in the eighth. Enoli Paredes recorded the save. Starter Jose Suarez allowed three runs over five innings while striking out seven. Columbus secured a 6-5 win over Pensacola after a ninth-inning comeback; Ian Mejia allowed four runs in 5.2 innings and struck out seven.
