Albuquerque Isotopes News Release


NEED TO KNOW: Fireworks weren't on the promotional schedule, but the Albuquerque Isotopes (32-39) put on their own fireworks show in an 11-1 thumping of the New Orleans Zephyrs (38-33) Monday afternoon at Isotopes Park. The win saved a series split for the Isotopes.

THE TURNING POINT: It was over almost as soon as it started. The Zephyrs picked up a run in the first after former Isotopes outfielder Matt Angle doubled to lead off the game. Albuquerque would also strike quickly in the bottom of the first after Trayvon Robinson gave the Topes a leadoff double of their own. Consecutive singles from Joc Pederson, Clint Robinson, Tim Federowicz and Aled Liddi then gave the Isotopes a 4-1 lead.

KEEP PILING THEM ON: Albuquerque added two more runs in the second inning courtesy of a Tim Federowicz home run. After two more runs scored in the fifth inning, Clint Robinson mashed a two-run homer in sixth to push the Isotopes lead to 10-1.Robinson also walked to leadoff the bottom of the eighth inning and scored on an Alex Liddi double for the Isotopes 11th run.
