Albuquerque Isotopes News Release
South Jordan, UT - The Isotopes took a 10-4 lead entering the bottom of the seventh-highlighted by two homers from Andrew Knizner and a two-run double and homer by Nix Kent. Salt Lake, however, tied the game with a pair of three-run homers, including a two-out, ninth inning blast by Josh Lowe. Albuquerque then plated four runs in the 10th-its third four-run inning of the contest-and held off the Bees' rally in the home half of the frame to claim a 14-13 10-inning victory Wednesday night at The Ballpark at America First Square.
