Brewers End Losing Streak
August 19, 2015 - Pioneer League (PL)
Helena Brewers News Release
The Helena Brewers (4-14) snapped their seven-game losing streak with a 13-7 victory over the Ogden Raptors on Tuesday at Lindquist Field in Utah.
Ivan Vieitez (1-3) would not make it out of the first innings for the Raptors, giving up three runs on four hits before being pulled with two outs. It was a far different outing from the first time Helena would face him, as Vieitez threw five shutout innings at Kindrick Field just a week ago.
The Brewers collected 17 hits in the game, 13 of which were for extra bases. Both were new season-highs for the team.
Malik Collymore and Jake Gatewood each came up a homerun shy of the cycle. Collymore would triple in the first on his way to a 3-for-4 night and Gatewood would go 3-for-6. Neither had a triple this season before Tuesday.
The Brewers collected 12 of their 13 runs in multiple-run innings, peaking with 4 runs in the top of the seventh.
The Raptors put five pitchers on the hill. All of them would give up runs.
Carlos Belonis cranked a three-run homer in the ninth to extend the Brewers lead back to six runs. It was his fifth of the year.
Helena and Ogden will face off in the third game of their four-game series Wednesday at Lindquist Field. First pitch is set for 7:00 p.m.
