Silver Sox Can't Keep Pace with Armada

August 21, 2007 - Golden Baseball League (GBL)
Reno Silver Sox News Release


The Reno Silver Sox spotted the Los Angeles Armada an early lead that the Armada wouldn't relinquish, as the Silver Sox lose to the Armada 9 - 4.

Silver Sox starter James Johnson couldn't seem to get the Silver Sox started on the right foot as the first pitch he threw hit the first batter of the game. Then, two errors in the first inning led to two runs scoring, spotting the first place Armada a two run lead.

The Armada would score two more runs in the second inning, before Johnson started to calm down and hit his spots. Johnson would finish the game pitching six innings, allowing six runs off of eight hits.

The Silver Sox offense however would get the Silver Sox back into the game when they scored three runs in the third inning. After three straight walks, CF Victor Hall hit an RBI single, RF Ryan Kowalski would hit into a double play, but still one more run was able to score. Then DH Juan Senreiso reached on an error which allowed another run to score. The runs weren't as planned but they still showed up on the scoreboard. The Silver Sox now trailed 4 - 3.

The Armada would add another two runs in the sixth before Johnson was relieved in the seventh by Shawn Balteff. Balteff pitched a scoreless seventh for the Silver Sox, but was then relieved by Josh Evans. Evans allowed one run in the eighth, but then gave up two more runs in the ninth.

Going into the bottom of the ninth the Silver Sox were in a 9 - 3 hole. The Silver Sox were able to get one run in when Hall scored off an RBI single by Senreiso, but that would be all. The final score Armada 9, Silver Sox 4.

The Silver Sox return to Peccole Park tomorrow night for game two of this three game series against the Armada. Tomorrow is also Two-For-Tuesday where if you buy one general admission or reserve section ticket you will receive another of equal value for free.
