Express can't keep up with Drillers
August 22, 2003 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Round Rock Express News Release
A four-hit night from Javier Colina and some solid relief pitching lead the Tulsa Drillers past the Round Rock Express, 8-4, Thursday night.
Colina went 4 for 4 with a pair of home runs and four RBIs to almost equal the entire Express lineup.
Tulsa jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the seventh and threatened to turn the game into a route. However, Round Rock didn't exactly go quietly. Jacques Landry continued a late season power surge with his ninth of the season, a three-run shot off of Chris Buglovsky.
Unfortunately for the Express, though, the Driller bullpen ensured that that was as close as Round Rock would get. Three relievers combined to shut down Round Rock for the rest of the game, including Chris Bumatay, who threw a hitless ninth.
Buglovsky (9-9) got the win an evened his record. Ruddy Lugo (4-13) took the loss after surrendering five runs in five innings.
Game three of the series will be Friday at 7 p.m.
