Omaha Storm Chasers News Release
PAPILLION, Neb. - The Omaha Storm Chasers erased two, two-run deficits to top the Memphis Redbirds, 5-4, at Werner Park on Tuesday afternoon. Wil Myers, Anthony Seratelli and Jason Bourgeois all connected for home runs in Tuesday's victory.
Sean O'Sullivan (5-4) was credited with the win after 3.1 innings of work in relief of starter Mike Montgomery. Ramon Colon pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his fifth save of the season.
Memphis (21-38) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the third but the Storm Chasers (35-25) responded in the home half of the third when Irving Falu singled and Myers followed, two batters later, with his two-run jack.
The Redbirds tacked on two more runs in the fifth on a sacrifice fly and an RBI double. However, Omaha answered quickly with two of their own in the bottom of the fifth on a two-run shot by Seratelli.
Both offenses stalled until the bottom of the eighth when Bourgeois homered to left on a 1-2 pitch to score the go-ahead run for the Storm Chasers.
