In his final game for the Blue Wahoos, first baseman Troy Johnston ensured it was farewell memory for all.
The game last Sunday was tired 2-2. Bottom of the eighth. Bases loaded. Up stepped Johnston to the plate with Blue Wahoos Stadium abuzz in hopeful anticipation.
He delivered, of course, just like he so often did during two seasons in Pensacola.

Johnston laced a pitch down the right field line for a two-run double, which followed his run-scoring double in the sixth inning, to again become the offensive star of the Blue Wahoos' 7-2 victory against the Rocket City Trash Pandas, which put a ribbon bow on a successful homestand at the bayfront ballpark.
