Baseball America Chat -- Nathan (Madison, WI): Trent Clark top 50 prospect next year? J.J. Cooper: You’re asking a guy who is a big Trent Clark fan and has been since his amateur days. Top 50 next year is probably a little rich. Top 100 is a better bet but Top 50 by 2017? I’m on board.

Final: Colorado Springs 8, Albuquerque 2 Only summaries are from the Isotope perspective at this time -- Matt Dominguez smacked a two-run homer in the eighth inning and an RBI double in the ninth as Colorado Springs scored eight late runs to take an 8-2 victory over the host Isotopes. Albuquerque grabbed a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning when Roger Bernadina hit an RBI ground-rule double and later scored on Trevor Story’s single. Isotopes starter Eddie Butler worked 6 1/3 shutout innings and chipped in a pair of hits. But the Sky Sox ambushed relievers Tommy Kahnle and Brooks Brown for eight runs in the final two innings to take the series-tying win. *** NEED TO KNOW: The Colorado Springs Sky Sox (57-76) rallied with a four-run eighth inning Friday night at Isotopes Park to beat the Albuquerque Isotopes (58-76) 8-2. Outfielder Roger Bernadina was 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored on the evening. THE TURNING POINT: Both starting pitchers turned in a gem Friday night. Colorado Springs starter Josh Roenicke allowed just three hits in five shutout innings, while the Isotopes Eddie Butler scattered four hits in 6.1 scoreless innings. It wasn't until the bottom of the sixth when Albuquerque finally broke through after a leadoff single from Trevor Story. He advanced to third on a pair of groundouts and scored on Roger Bernadina's ground-rule double down the left field line. Bernadina later scored on Tommy Murphy's single to center, giving the Topes a 2-0 lead through six. After escaping a bases loaded jam in the seventh inning, Albuquerque's luck ran out as Colorado Springs plated four in the eighth to steal a victory from the Isotopes. The Sky Sox added four more runs in the top of the ninth for good measure. DOUBLE THE FUN: The Isotopes infield managed to turn four double plays in Friday night's game. All four twin killings were of different varieties. The Topes turned a 5-4-3 double play in the second, a 4-6-3 in the fourth, a 6-4-3 in the fifth and a 3-6-1 in the sixth. Albuquerque now has 118 doubles plays turned on the season, which ranks fourth-best in the Pacific Coast League. ON DECK: The Isotopes and Sky Sox will play game three of their four-game series Saturday night at 7:05 PM (8:05 Central). Left-handed pitcher Rudy Owens (1-5, 5.40 ERA) is scheduled to start for Albuquerque, while Colorado Springs is slated to go with fellow left-hander Brent Suter (3-0, 2.59 ERA) on the mound. Colorado Springs Box Score First baseman Matt Clark (OBP .354) reached base all five times up, two singles, three walks; three more hits, including a double, for smokin' hot Luis Sardinas (13-for-his-last-34, one walk, 15th stolen base, seven-game hit streak); CF Kyle Wren singled and walked twice...

Thursday's Game -- Michael Reed doubles in Colorado Springs' 3-1 loss to Albuquerque

Brewers, Osprey smoked out Helena Independent Record The Helena Brewers were on their way to seventh win in eight games on Friday, until the region's wildfires halted their game after the fifth inning. Helena picked up three runs in the first and another two in the second in jumping out to a quick, 5-0 lead. The visitors got two of those back in the third, but the Brewers tacked on three more in the fifth before the smoke became too much. That left it an 8-2 Brewers lead after five complete innings when officials suspended play. *** Smoke Forces Suspension of Game Heavy smoke in the Helena area forced the suspension of the game after five innings Missoula Osprey HELENA, MONT. - Heavy smoke in the Helena area forced a suspension of a game between the Missoula Osprey (38-26) and the Helena Brewers (26-37) after five innings on Friday night. The game, which will be continued on September 7 prior to the regularly-scheduled game, currently has the Brewers leading 8-2. Before the suspension, Trent Clark had accumulated a 4-for-4 night with three RBI for Helena. Clark put the Brewers on the board in the first inning, driving in a pair with a two-RBI single before Gilbert Lara plated the third run of the inning with a single of his own. Leading 3-0, Helena tacked on two more runs in the second, as a single down the left field line from Steven Karkenny and another RBI-single from Clark made it 5-0 Helena. Missoula answered right back in the top of the third inning, scoring its only two runs of the suspended game to cut the deficit to three at 5-2. Isan Diaz blasted what would be his 12th homer of the year before Austin Byler tripled and came in on an RBI-single from Francis Christy. Diaz is 2-for-3 in the game, while Christy has gone 2-for-2 with a triple. With the game teetering on suspension, Helena plated three more runs in the bottom of the fifth as Yerison Pena led off with a single and came around to score on a two-RBI double from Karkenny. The final run came home on a squeeze bunt from Jose Cuas. The two-RBI double was Karkenny's third hit in four trips to the plate, as he currently sports three runs scored and two doubles with three RBI. Following a brief meeting with both coaches, the umpiring crew of Stu Bertrand and Mike Rains suspended play. *** You can read a more detailed account via the Missoulian here. *** Helena Partial Box Score RHP Nate Griep allowed only two of nine baserunners to score in his four-inning start. The top six in the lineup were on base often, as you'll see... Helena Partial Game Log Why did RF Carlos Belonis exit early? Missoula Top of the 3rd Mike Abreu called out on strikes. Isan Diaz homers (12) on a fly ball to right field. Kal Simmons singles on a ground ball to left fielder Troy Stokes. With Austin Byler batting, Nate Griep picks off Kal Simmons at 1st on throw to Steven Karkenny. Austin Byler triples (5) on a fly ball to right fielder Carlos Belonis. Matt Railey walks. Francis Christy singles on a ground ball to left fielder Troy Stokes. Austin Byler scores. Matt Railey to 2nd. Matt McPhearson flies out to right fielder Carlos Belonis.
