Salt Lake Bees News Release
The Omaha Storm Chasers scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to rally past the Salt Lake Bees for a 6-5 win on Friday night. Javy Guerra (2-1) came in to pitch the ninth with a 5-1 lead and walked the first two batters he faced. Bubba Starling singled to load the bases and Tony Cruz singled in two to make it 5-3. Irving Falu followed with a single to right to knock Guerra out of the game. Greg Mahle entered the game and Park City native Parker Morin sacrificed the runners to second and third. Orlando Calixte came up next and drilled a 2-1 pitch into right center for a single to bring in the tying and winning runs for Omaha.
Salt Lake had taken a 4-0 lead in the third inning on an RBI double by Brendan Ryan, a two run double by Carlos Perez and a sacrifice fly by Nick Buss. Perez added a solo homer in the eighth for two hits and three RBI in his second game after being optioned by the Angels to the Bees. The Storm Chasers' comeback spoiled a solid outing by Salt Lake starter Kyle McGowin, who pitched six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and two walks.
