Helena Brewers News Release
The Helena Brewers (4-15) dropped a 4-2 contest on Wednesday to the Ogden Raptors (11-8) at Lindquist Field in Utah. It was Helena's eighth loss in nine games.
J.B Kole (0-4) got the start for the Brewers, pitching five innings of three-run baseball. He gave up three hits while walking a season-high five batters.
Ogden jumped out to an early lead scoring two in the top of the first. Scott De Jong and Matt Jones each had doubles in the inning, and Ogden's first three hits would all be for extra bases.
Kevin Brown threw three shutout innings for Ogden, but went home with no decision in just his second start of professional baseball. He struck out two and allowed two hits.
Six pitchers were rolled out for the Raptors on Wednesday, with none throwing more than two innings in relief.
Helena got their scoring started in the sixth when Jose Cuas collected his seventh homerun of the season, a solo shot to opposite field. He is now tied for the team lead in round-trippers with Steven Karkenny.
Carlos Belonis put together a good night at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
Helena had the bases loaded twice in the game with just one out, and the Brewers were unable to convert a run in either spot.
The Brewers and Raptors will face off in the finale of their four-game series Thursday at Lindquist Field in Ogden. First pitch is set for 7:00 p.m.
