SALT LAKE CITY - The Salt Lake Bees, dressed for the second consecutive night as Las Abejas de Salt Lake, rode the strength of a monstrous, six-run third inning en route to a 11-5 victory over the Las Vegas 51s in front of 7,261 fans on Saturday night at Smith's Ballpark.

The Bees broke a 1-1 tie by plating six runs in the third. Rymer Liriano blasted a two-out, three-run home run to highlight the scoring bonanza. Later in the game, Liriano took another pitch yard for a solo shot for his second dinger of the game. All in all, Liriano finished 2-for-4 with four RBIs. Liriano is the sixth Bees batter to have a multiple home run game this season joining Chris Carter, Jabari Blash, Sherman Johnson, Michael Hermosillo and Ryan Schimpf. In his second game of the season, Dustin Ackley continued his hot start by going a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate. Jose Miguel Fernandez and Francisco Arcia also homered.

Osmer Morales got the start for the Bees lasting four innings while giving up two runs (one earned). After being brought up from Single-A Inland Empire today Sean Isaac picked up the win with two and two-thirds innings of relief. Jake Jewell and Ian Krol picked up the final two and one-third innings to seal the victory. 51s starter Corey Oswalt received the loss for Las Vegas after being roughed up for seven runs in his two and two-thirds innings.

The Bees will put the Las Abejas uniforms away until June 10th and 11th, when they will don the identity again. Salt Lake will continue the series against Las Vegas Sunday at 6:35 p.m. at Smith's Ballpark.
