The Salt Lake Bees (69-77) and the Sacramento River Cats (63-81) combined for 19 runs and 27 hits Friday night, but the Bees came out on the losing end, falling 12-7.

The Bees would score first in this one and held a 6-3 lead after four innings. They scored twice on a wild pitch and two more times on Hunter Jr.'s home run to left field in the fourth inning.
Sacramento wasted no time and took their second lead of the game in the top of the fifth with a five-run inning highlighted by a three-RBI blast by Heliot Ramos and a two-RBI shot by Yermin Mercedes. They would go on to add two more in the sixth and in the ninth, putting the game out of reach for the Bees.
