Calgary Vipers News Release


In a rain shortened contest the Calgary Vipers defeated the Victoria Seals 5-2 at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, British Columbia. The Vipers led from the second inning on and scored single runs in five separate innings. The game was called before the ninth inning started after a 20 minute rain delay. With the victory the Snakes improve to 10-5 on the Golden Baseball League and are a game and a half back in the North Division.

Anastacio Martinez (1-2) made the start for Calgary and threw five and a third innings while allowing only one earned run for the victory. Out of the bullpen Junior Iboa made his season debut and struck out two batters in a hitless inning of work while Claudio Galva (2) recorded the save in picking up the final two outs of the eighth inning with two runners on.

Calgary scored first in the second inning when Drew Miller walked to reach base for a 15th straight game, Caonabo Cosme singled, and Luis Taveras made the game 1-0 with a run batted in base hit.

The Vipers doubled their lead in the third frame as Jorge Mejia, Miller, Jonny Kaplan, and Cosme all walked for a 2-0 advantage.

Another lone run was added by Calgary in the fourth as Guillermo Reyes doubled and Mejia singled him home for a 3-0 lead.

Victoria got a tally back in the bottom of the inning for a 3-1 score as Wilver Perez singled, stole second base, and scored on a Terrence McClain RBI single.

For the fourth straight inning the Snakes scored a single run as in the fifth frame Kaplan and Cosme walked and after a wild pitch Taveras drove in his second run of the game when he reached on an error.

Again the Seals got within two runs in the sixth at 4-2 as McClain singled, stole second base, moved to third on a groundout by Brian Rios, and scored on a passed ball.

Right back responded the Vipers in the next half inning as Taveras smacked a leadoff home run for a 5-2 lead.
