Salt Lake Bees News Release


The Salt Lake Bees evened up their season ending five game series in El Paso with an 8-6 win over the Chihuahuas on Friday. Salt Lake took the lead two pitches into the game, as J.B. Shuck launched his fourth home run of the season to take an early 1-0 lead. The Bees would add one more in the first, as Grant Green doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Luis Jimenez. After El Paso tied the game with two runs in the second, Salt Lake regained the lead with two runs in the fourth on a run scoring triple by Vance Albitz and an RBI infield single by Tony Campana.

Jimenez gave the Bees a 6-3 lead in the fifth with a two run homer and would stretch their lead to 8-3 in the ninth on a pinch hit RBI single by Ryan Wheeler, but the Chihuahuas scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth and had the potential tying runs at second and third, but Dane De La Rosa earned his third save by inducing Cody Decker to pop out and fanning Alex Castellanos to end the game.

Salt Lake starter Randy Wolf (6-2) picked up his first win with the Bees, as he went seven innings and allowed three runs on eight hits. Shuck and Jimenez each had two hits and two runs batted in, while Campana added three hits and one RBI.
