West Sacramento, Calif. - Cliff Pennington had three extra-base hits as the Sacramento River Cats snapped a three-game losing streak on Monday night, defeating the Tacoma Rainiers 8-2 at Raley Field. Pennington drove in two runs, starting with an RBI triple in the second inning. The Sacramento shortstop then doubled as part of a three-run fifth inning and tripled for the second time in the seventh inning, finishing 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored. Pennington also made an outstanding defensive play in the seventh inning when he slid into a backhand, popped up spinning towards second base to begin a double play.
