GREELEY, Colo. - A dominating performance by Greyson Fletcher sparked the best performance by the Vibes pitching staff in a nine-inning game as they beat the Northern Colorado Owlz 7-1.

It was the fewest runs Rocky Mountain has given up all season. Fletcher combined with Pete Bayer and Seth Davis to only allow six hits and two walks to go along with 10 strikeouts.

The pitching staff had the lead the entire day thanks to a run in the top of the first from Gio Diaz and the Owlz pitching battery. Diaz hit a leadoff single then got a free 270 feet thanks to a wild pitch, a passed ball, and another wild pitch for a quick 1-0 lead.

The only run NoCo scored in the game came from their first batter as well. Alex Jackson continues to have a hot start to the second half, he hit another home run, this one leading off the bottom of the first.

After Jackson's home run, it was a symphony of strikeouts, groundouts, and 1-2-3 innings for Fletcher, who added the vibrato of a second professional win.

Kida De La Cruz was able to match Fletcher in the pitcher's duel until the fifth, when Mike Annone raked an RBI double to right center, giving the Vibes a 2-1 lead. Nick Michaels continued the scoring in the fifth, driving in Annone and himself on his first Springs home run to left.

Three more runs came across in the sixth: an RBI single by Ulysses Cantu, a run on another passed ball, and a run on a Michaels RBI fielder's choice.

For Michaels, he now has 12 RBI in his first seven games in a Vibes uniform.
