Denson Leads Brewers to 14-10 Win
July 12, 2015 - Pioneer League (PL)
Helena Brewers News Release
The Helena Brewers (9-12) topped the Orem Owlz (16-9) 14-10 on Sunday afternoon to even their series at Brent Brown Ballpark at a game apiece.
Helena's Milton Gomez (2-0) was roughed up in the start, but had enough support behind him to earn the win. He issued 9 runs on 12 hits in 5.1 innings on the hill.
The Brewers jumped out to the first lead of the game, scoring three runs in the second. Jose Cuas cranked his first professional homerun, a three-run blast to left. He would score Carlos Belonis and George Iskenderian on the round-tripper off Grayson Long.
Long, the third-round selection of the Angels this year, would only make it through four outs before he was yanked from the game. He surrendered three runs on three hits.
The Owlz countered with four runs in the third innings to take a brief 4-3 lead. Hutton Moyer hit his second homerun in as many days, this time with a three-run shot.
Helena then took the lead for good with eight runs in the fourth. The inning was highlighted by a double and a three-run homerun for David Denson. Denson went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBI.
Leading 11-4, the Brewers almost squandered their big advantage. Gomez struggled in the sixth and was pulled with one out. Moyer came up with a two-RBI double and Alex Abbott, a late addition to the lineup, went yard for two Owlz runs. After six the lead would dwindle to 11-10.
That is where the scoring would end for the Owlz, however, as Nate Griep and Junior Rincon combined for three shutout innings to finish the game. It was Griep's first appearance in over two weeks after suffering a shoulder strain.
The Brewers and Owlz will face off in the rubber match of their three-game series Monday at Brent Brown Ballpark. First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m.
