Salt Lake Bees News Release
SALT LAKE CITY (April 22, 2015) - For the second time in two days, the Salt Lake Bees pulled off a walk-off victory, beating the Fresno Grizzlies 3-2 at Smith's Ballpark. The Bees headed into the ninth up 2-0 but allowed the Grizzlies to even the score with two runs in the top of the inning. Alfredo Marte led off the bottom of the ninth with a single and was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Alex Yarbrough. With two outs, Daniel Robertson knocked a single to drive in the winning run and secure the home victory.
"This win speaks a lot about this team and what they're made of," said Salt Lake manager Dave Anderson. "We've talk a lot about early in the season when we struggled and we had to keep playing hard because things were going to start changing and going our way and the last few nights they have."
In his second start and third appearance for the Bees, Adam Wilk tossed five scoreless innings, allowing seven hits, walking none and striking out three and was handed a no decision. Kurt Spomer made his first Salt Lake appearance of the season, tossing two and a third scoreless innings before Steven Hensley pitched the final inning and a third and was tagged with a blown save after giving up the tying run but recovered to earn the win. Roger Kieschnick led Bees batters with two base hits and an RBI.
The Bees are back tomorrow with the current home stand running through April 24 . All games are slated to begin at 6:35 p.m. Thursday is Thirsty Thursday with $2.75 drinks and Friday will be Beard Appreciation Night with Matt Shoemaker beard beanies giveaways at the gates.
