Box Score
In what started as a repeat of the first game, the Blue Wahoos controlled on the mound as Pensacola was staked to a 4-0 lead over Chattanooga.
Joe Cronin and Jaylin Davis had consecutive RBI singles with two out in the fifth inning to give the Blue Wahoos a 2-0 lead.
The Blue Wahoos then loaded the bases with one out in the last inning, the seventh. Lookouts reliever Ty Boyles gave up two runs when the Southern League's leading hitter, Luis Arraez hit a two-out, two RBI single to provide a four-run cushion.
The Blue Wahoos late-inning bullpen has been a backbone of the team's strong start but they experienced their worst outing of the season. With one out in the bottom of the seventh, reliever Alex Phillips issued a pair of walks and a single by Taylor Trammel to load the bases.
Tyler Jay, the Minnesota Twins' first round of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft, was summoned to replaced Phillips.
On a one-strike pitch, Isabel blasted a grand slam over the right-center fence to tie the game to tie the game at 4-4. Jay then avoided worse damage at the time, following a single by Brantley Bell and double by Gavin LaValley, he forced extra innings by retiring Chris Okley.
