August 30, 2015 - Pioneer League (PL)
Northern Colorado Owlz News Release
OGDEN- After a frustrating night in Ogden, the night before the Orem Owlz looked to forget about the 14-6 loss to the Ogden Raptors in Game 1 of the four game series as they entered Game 2 with high pose in bouncing back from the tough loss. Things started out well for the Owlz, but a late home run by the Raptors tied things up in the eighth inning of play, and sent game to extra innings, where the Gersel Pitre hit a walk off base hit to secure the win for the Raptors.
The night started out well for the Owlz as Sam Koenig hit a double in the first inning of play to send Brendon Sanger across the pate to put Orem on top 1-0. After the Raptors evened the score in the bottom of the first, Orem saw the lead change in their favor in the third inning as Jared Foster hit a long ball over the wall to put Orem on top 3-1. As the Owlz were holding on to a one run lead for the majority of the night, a late inning home run by Michael Medina tied the game up and sent the game to extra where the Owlz fell 4-3 in back to back nights in Ogden.
The starting pitcher on the night for Orem was Jeff Malm who pitched five innings and struck out three Raptor batters. Cody Pope who entered the mound as the final pitcher received his second loss of the year.
Tomorrow night the Owlz will look to snap a three game losing streak as the first pitch is scheduled for 4:00 MDT. You can listen to the action on Audio.OremOwlz.com This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs.
