Salt Lake Bees News Release


The Salt Lake Bees ended a three-game losing streak Friday night with a 8-6 win over the Sacramento River Cats. A seventh-inning four-run rally ended up being the difference as the Bees broke the three-run mark for the first time since Tuesday night.

Orlando Martinez went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double, which ended up being the only extra-base hit of the night for Salt Lake. Kyle Kasser extended his hitting streak to eight games with a single in the second inning and Dillon Thomas reached base twice to extend his on-base streak to 16 games. Kyle Barraclough picked up the win on the mound, his fourth of the season, and Ty Buttrey earned his second save of the season.

The Bees found themselves in a 4-0 hole after the first inning, but put up their first four-run inning of the night in the bottom of the second. Kasser, Anthony Mulrine, and Michael Stefanic were each credited with an RBI in the inning.

The game remained tied at 4-4 for the next five innings until the Bees put up another four-spot in the seventh inning. Thomas opened the scoring with a bases-loaded walk and Martinez made it 8-4 with his RBI-double.

Sacramento scored two runs in the top of the eighth, but Brian Moran and Buttrey closed the door the rest of the way to secure the victory for Salt Lake.

Game five of the series is set for 6:35 p.m. tomorrow night.
