Wahoos Edge Clingstones 8-6 in 10 Innings, Magic Number Down to 3

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos stayed hot Friday night, grinding out an extra-inning victory over the Columbus Clingstones that keeps them firmly in control of their division race.

After a tight pitching contest through nine innings, the Wahoos broke through in the 10th to win 8-6. The victory extends Pensacola's lead over Columbus to 5.5 games with just eight regular-season games remaining.

With the win, the Wahoos' magic number—the number of wins they need combined with Columbus losses to clinch the division—dropped to 3. The team is positioned well heading into the final stretch of the season, according to reporting from North Escambia.

The Wahoos will look to keep the momentum rolling as they push toward the postseason.
