Helena Brewers News Release
The Helena Brewers (9-11) won their second straight against the Ogden Raptors (9-10) with a 7-3 victory on Saturday at Kindrick Field.
David Carver (1-0) got his first decision in the Pioneer League after five quality innings in the start. The left-hander gave up two runs on six hits and struck out two.
Helena jumped on the board in the bottom of the second with three runs on four hits off Trevor Oaks (4-1). Eric Williams led the way in the inning with an RBI double and a run scored. Williams was 2-for-2 on the game with two runs, an RBI and a stolen base. He would reach in all four of his plate appearances.
Trailing 7-2 going to the ninth, the Raptors would try to make a late rally. Colin Hering led off the inning with a home run to make it a 4-run deficit, taking advantage of Ryan Deeter. Deeter was only able to record one out before being pulled from the game.
With the bases loaded and the tying runner at the plate, Wesley Cox would strike out two straight to end the game, clinching at the minimum a series split for the Brewers.
