Albuquerque Isotopes News Release


Round Rock, TX - The Isotopes built a 7-0 lead but Round Rock scored five in the seventh and four in the ninth to tie the game and then went on to win, 10-9, on a Nick Solak RBI single in the tenth Saturday night at Dell Diamond

With the loss, Albuquerque has dropped the series.

Offensively, the Isotopes tallied 10 hits, four homers and two doubles. D.J. Peterson hit two dingers, had three hits and drove in three. Wynton Bernard and Sam Hilliard also homered. Jonathan Morales drove in two runs with two hits.

The Isotopes plated the game's first runs in the fifth frame when Peterson launched his ninth homer, a two-run shot, while another run came around on a fielding error.

In the sixth, Albuquerque doubled their lead with two homers. Peterson connected on a solo clout and then Bernard smacked a two-run shot, giving the Isotopes a 6-0 lead.

Albuquerque scored for a third-straight inning when Hilliard went deep. They led, 7-0.

The Express made it a game in the seventh when they plated five runs, trimming the Isotopes lead to 7-5.

Albuquerque's lead grew to 9-5 in the ninth on a Morales two-run single. However, Round Rock swatted two, two-run homers in the home half of the ninth to tie it at 9-9.

In extra innings, the Isotopes failed to score a run. The Express, though, loaded the bases and won on an RBI single by Solak.

Ryan Feltner did not factor into the decision after throwing 3.2 innings and allowing no runs on four hits and three walks with three punchouts.
