SO PROUD OF MY GUYS LAST NIGHT!! Blue Wahoos pitcher Daniel Corcino allows just one run in seven innings Daniel Corcino put what the reigning WWE Tag Team Champion Uso Brothers would call the kibosh on the Montgomery Biscuits Thursday night. In front of a sellout crowd and twin brothers Jimmy and Jey, who graduated from Escambia High School, Corcino clamped down on the Biscuits in the, 4-2, Pensacola victory in the series opener. Corcino allowed just one run on a solo home run to Alejandro Segovia in the second inning and struck out seven to up his record to 8-7. It was Corcinos ninth start this season that he has pitched six innings or more and allowed one run or fewer. He said that meeting the dominating Uso Brothers, who threw out the games ceremonial first pitch, pumped him up before the game. Corcino said he has loved wrestling since he was a little boy watching it on TV in the Dominican Republic. I love that sport. Its one of my favorites, Corcino said. I met them and they asked, Whos going to teach me to pitch? I said, Ill teach you, if you teach me how to wrestle in the ring. Corcino came into his 18th start of the season having struggled in his past five games. He was 1-3 with 19 strikeouts and 18 walks in 23.1 innings for a 9.26 ERA. Corcino, who is the Cincinnati Reds No. 10 prospect according to MLB, said he considered those outings ancient history. Plus, the 23-year-old is now unbeaten, 4-0, against the Biscuits, including 3-0, this season. If you have a bad game you just forget about it, said Corcino, who walked only one batter. I threw the ball at the plate and said, Lets see what happens? My last few starts Ive been a little wild. The difference Thursday was command of his fastballs in the 90s and getting ahead in the count on the hitters, said Wahoos manager Delino DeShields. When he pitches like that we have a chance to win games, DeShields said. When you look at his side work and his pitching in the bullpen before the game, everythings working. Its just being able to do it at 6:30 p.m. It was a great job by him tonight.
