Final: Colorado Springs 13, Omaha 9 Sky Sox Storm Back To Top Omaha 13-9 Sky Sox erase seven-run deficit to win fourth game in a row By Aaron Cheris / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/6/6/2/181848662/cuts/06_1_3088_pk_yptob6dl_5114tmec.jpg Will Middlebrooks and Jake Elmore had plenty to celebrate in the Sky Sox win on Thursday night. (Paat Kelly photo) Eleven unanswered runs, wow! Really something how many times this offense has come back after a blow-up start; fun for the locals, been a while since this team was competitive, going back to their Rockies days...
*** Colorado Springs Box Score I guess I understand what the Brewers are trying to do with LHP Sam Freeman, or do I? Controlled environment? Converted starter? Either way, Freeman has been lit up in every fashion in every locale... Clean defense, nice work out of the pen; guess I blasted Will Middlebrooks enough earlier that he's taken note -- five multi-hit games in his last seven, and he even threw in a walk here; boy, we have not given Jake Elmore enough love, on base all four times here, the soon-to-be 29-year-old sports a ridiculous .343/.456/.402 line in 102 AB's.
