RAINIERS TAKE SERIES ADVANTAGE WITH EXTRA-INNING WALKOFF TACOMA, Wash. – The Sky Sox dropped game three of this four-game set against the Tacoma Rainiers on Monday night, falling 3-2 in ten innings after being tied at 1-1 through the first nine frames. Though there were 19 runs scored in the first two games in this series, Monday night's game remained a tight 1-1 contest through nine innings and into extras before the Rainiers walked off in the bottom of the tenth to win 3-2. After two scoreless innings kicked off the game, the Sky Sox were the first to score in the top of the third inning. After a Rymer Liriano strikeout, Tyrone Taylor and Dylan Moore hit back to back singles to put runners on the corners for Nate Orf. With Orf at the plate, Moore was picked off and caught stealing second in a rundown, allowing Taylor to score during the chaotic baserunning play to make it 1-0 Colorado Springs. In the bottom of the inning, the home team responded right away. Zach Vincej grounded out for the first out of the inning, before Ben Gamel hit his first AAA triple of the season to put the tying run 90 feet from home. Gordon Beckham then hit an RBI single to score Gamel and tie the game at one run apiece. Right-handed pitcher and Brewers rehabber Zach Davies made his fourth rehab stint for the Sky Sox Monday night, tossing 4.2 innings, allowing just the one run on five hits with a pair of walks alongside a pair of strikeouts. In his last rehab start, on Wednesday, August 1st, Davies threw two and two-thirds innings and allowing five runs on just four hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Overall, after four rehab starts with Colorado Springs, he has totaled 13.1 IP, 15 H, 8 ER, 7 BB, 11 K and is 0-2. Conversely, Tacoma's starter— Ross Detwiler — threw 6.1 innings for the Rainiers, also allowing just the one run on seven hits with a sole walk and four strikeouts. The game remained tied at 1-1 through regulation, sending the game into extra innings. In the top of the tenth inning, according to the new extra-inning rules, the Sky Sox started with a runner on second base, in the form of Quintin Berry who came into the game in the critical situation to pinch-run for Domingo Santana. Berry advanced to third on a wild pitch, coming home on a shallow sacrifice fly off the bat of Taylor, leading to a close play at the plate that saw Berry safe to make it 2-1 Sky Sox, despite Colorado Springs failing to collect a single hit in the inning. In the bottom of the tenth, the Rainiers started with Seth Mejias-Brean as the runner on second. After Ian Miller and Vincej struck out to put the Rainiers down to their final out, the Sky Sox intentionally walked Gamel to put the winning run on. With two on and two out, Beckham knocked his 19th double of the season on the first pitch he saw to score both Mejias-Brean and Gamel to walkoff the Sky Sox 3-2, taking a 2-1 series lead in the process. The Sky Sox continue into game four of the set with a 1:35 PM CST first pitch tomorrow before taking a day off prior to returning home to Security Service Field on the 9th to take on the Nashville Sounds. Colorado Springs righty Alec Asher (5-3) is set to face Tacoma's righty Rob Whalen (7-5) on Tuesday. Dead Even: The Sky Sox and Rainiers entered into this series with a dead even 172-172 all-time record, with the Sky Sox going 103-67 at home and 69-105 in Tacoma coming into this four-game set. With Monday's win, the Rainiers took an advantage at 174-173 with a 2-1 series. The Sky Sox will need a win on Tuesday afternoon to finish the all-time series even at 174-174. Sweet Tally: With the Sky Sox win Sunday afternoon, Rick Sweet marks his 268th regular season win with the Sky Sox. Sweet now trails Brad Mills by only three wins to tie Mills' club record 271 wins as Sky Sox manager. If you include postseason wins, Sweet is at 270 overall wins, trailing Mills by only six overall wins. The Hunt For First: The Sky Sox continue the hunt for their second-consecutive playoff run, battling it out with other top contender of the American North – the Oklahoma City Dodgers. Last season, the Sky Sox broke one of the longest postseason droughts in professional sports – taking the American North division for the first time and breaking their 20-year absence. Currently, with each team taking losses on Monday, the Dodgers still hold a two-game advantage in the standings over the Sky Sox.
