Final: Colorado Springs 7, Sacramento 1 SKY SOX BOUNCE BACK WITH BIG WIN TO FINISH ROAD TRIP After losing in walk-off fashion yesterday, the Sky Sox finished their road trip and this series strong by scoring in each of the first three innings Monday night en route to a 7-1 victory over the Sacramento River Cats to even the series at two games apiece. Nate Orf began the final game of this series by being hit by pitch in the game's first at-bat, stealing second with Tyrone Taylor at the plate in the next at-bat. Taylor then drew a five-pitch walk to quickly put two on for Colorado Springs. The two baserunners then pulled off a double steal, before Jacob Nottingham drew a one-out walk to load the bases. Christian Bethancourt then hit a sacrifice fly to score Orf for the first run of the game, and with two outs on the board and two runners on the basepaths, Andres Blanco hit his third triple of the season to clear the bases and give Colorado Springs an early 3-0 lead. Keon Broxton then hit a ground-rule double to score Blanco and extend the Sky Sox lead to four runs. In the top of the second inning, Colorado Springs' starting pitcher Adrian Houser helped out his own cause with a leadoff single for the Sky Sox, advancing to second on a Brett Phillips single. Nottingham drew a walk to load the bases, and with nowhere to put him, Bethancourt was hit by pitch to send Houser trotting home to make it a 5-0 game. After the River Cats went three up and three down in the bottom of the second, the Sky Sox were back at it in the top of the third inning. Blanco led off with a single, and then four pitches later Broxton hit a two-run homer to give the Sky Sox a commanding 7-0 lead. The Sky Sox wouldn't score again in the inning, but Houser did collect his second single of the night in the frame, going 2-for-3 at the plate tonight with a run scored. In the bottom of the fourth inning the home team broke up the shutout with a homer of their own. With one out on the board, Ryder Jones hit a line drive solo home run off of Houser that got out of the park in a hurry, but that would prove to be Sacramento's only run of the evening. Sacramento made some noise in the eighth inning, refusing to go quietly into the night. Stephen Duggar hit a ball to dead center in the first at-bat of the frame, with Broxton catching it on the warning track right at the wall for the first out of the inning. Kelby Tomlinson then drew a walk, and on the next pitch Chris Shaw hit a hard single right back up the middle that nearly struck Sky Sox pitcher Bubba Derby, to put two on. A passed ball by Colorado Springs catcher Bethancourt moved the runners up to second and third, but Derby managed to work out of the inning to send it to the ninth. In the bottom of the ninth inning Jorge Lopez came in to pitch for the Sky Sox, striking out the first two batters he faced before being pulled from the game and replaced on the mound by Jon Perrin. Perrin gave up a two-out walk to Josh Rutledge before collecting the final out of the game to secure the 7-1 win for the Sky Sox. The Sky Sox completed the four-game series against the Sacramento River Cats tonight and return home tomorrow, beginning their homestand on Wednesday with a three-game set against the Las Vegas 51s, with first pitch on Wednesday scheduled for 7:40 Central. Wednesday's Preview: In the first game of the three-game series against the Las Vegas 51s at Security Service Field in Colorado Springs on Wednesday, the Sky Sox are sending righty Corbin Burnes to the mound to face a yet-to-be-determined opponent for Las Vegas. Orf Climbs the Leader Boards: The first inning hit by pitch by Nate Orf was his 28th career hit by pitch (regular season) with the Sky Sox, putting him currently in fourth place all-time in that category. Orf's next hit by pitch will tie Jayhawk Owens for third place all time with 29 HBP. The subsequent stolen bases by Orf were his 26th and 27th career stolen bases with the Sky Sox (regular season), moving him into 22nd place all-time, passing Derrick Gibson and current Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell, both with 26 SB. Next up at tied for 20th: Jason Pridie and Tim Wheeler with 28 SB. Orf's sole run scored Monday night was his 187th run scored (regular season) with the Sky Sox, moving him into sole place of 13th place in runs scored, leaving current teammate Kyle Wren in 14th place (186 R). Next up in 12th: Ben Petrick at 194 runs. Helping his Own Cause: Adrian Houser, who started on the mound for the Sky Sox Monday night, helped his own cause by going 2-for-3 at the plate with two singles and a run scored. He also threw five innings of four-hit, one-run baseball, striking out four Sacramento batters and walking just one. Road Stats: Colorado Springs is now 5-11 over their last 16 road games. Over nine games in Tennessee, the Sky Sox only nabbed a single win in each of the series. The Sky Sox went 3-4 on this California road trip. *** Box Score / Game Log
