Roadrunners Run Away with Win

Reno Silver Sox News Release


The Reno Silver Sox bullpen let the St. George Roadrunners score 10 runs in the last two innings allowing the Roadrunners to run away with their first victory over the Silver Sox, 11 - 4.

Silver Sox starter Dusty Bergman pitched seven innings for the Silver Sox allowing only one run off of three hits while striking out five Roadrunners. More importantly, Bergman left the game with a 4 - 1 lead going into the eighth inning.

Sent in to relieve Bergman was Matt Parris. Parris couldn't seem to find his spots as the Roadrunners were able to bring in three runs while Parris was only able to record two outs. Shawn Balteff was then sent in to relieve Parris and after walking two batters, Balteff was able to end the inning on a fly out to second.

Balteff came in again in the ninth, however after loading the bases with a double, a hit by pitch, and a walk, Manager Les Lancaster sent it Josh Evans to try and control the damage. Evans, however, seemed to have the same problem Balteff did and when all was said and done, Evans allowed seven runs, three of them charged to Balteff, off of two hits.

On offense, the Silver Sox were lead by RF Ryan Kowalski who went 3-5 with one RBI and one run scored.
