Raptors Score Ten Unanswered to Sweep Brewers
July 17, 2018 - Pioneer League (PL)
Helena Brewers News Release
Ogden, UT - On another warm night in Ogden, the Helena Brewers couldn't contain the Raptors offense. With the game tied in the fifth, Ogden scored ten straight over the next three innings, cruising to a 13-4 win over Helena. The Brewers have lost three in a row for the first time this season, and are now four back of Great Falls with just seven games left in the first half.
Ogden scored first for the first time in the series, as three straight singles brought home a run in the first inning. Brewers starter Justin Bullock worked in and out of trouble in the second, and appeared to be out of trouble in the third with two on and two out, as Jair Camargo hit a blooper to shallow right center field. However, miscommunication allowed the ball to drop and two runs to score, extending Ogden's lead to 3-0.
Helena fought back to tie the game in the fourth, as a leadoff double from Jean Carmona scored on an error, as first baseman Dillon Paulson dropped a ball hit to pitcher Jose Chacin (W, 4-0). David Fry, the batter, got to third, but his advancement was a moot point as LG Castillo hit a two run blast to left, his third of the year, tying the game at three.
It remained tied going into the bottom of the fifth, but Brandon Presley (L,0-1) issued a leadoff walk to Dillon Paulson, and Matt Cogen followed with a two run opposite field shot, giving Ogden the 5-3 lead.
From there, Ogden blew the game open, scoring three in the sixth and five in the seventh. Castillo drove home a run with a single in the eighth, but it was too little too late for Helena, who will play four game series against the Raptors at Kindrick Legion Field on Saturday.
Your Helena Brewers return home on Wednesday for a three game series against the Idaho Falls Chukars. Wednesday is Babe Ruth Night presented by Helena Dermatology & Laser Clinic. First pitch is at 7:05 PM, and you can get your tickets now by visiting the ticketing page of helenabrewers.net.
