Reno Silver Sox News Release


The Reno Silver Sox tied the series up last night as they tamed the Edmonton Cracker Cats defeating them 13-9 at Peccole Park, Wednesday night improving their record to 7-13.

Starting pitcher Jesse Hall threw an impressive game, pitching six innings, striking out three, and allowing only three runs on eight hits. Hall brings his record to 2-1 on the season with last night?s victory.

Relieving Hall in the seventh was Jeremy Flanagan who pitched one inning and only gave up one hit. RP Shawn Ravenscraft finished the game giving up six runs on seven hits, and striking out three.

Once again the Silver Sox hitting proved their worth as the offense brought in 13 runs on 16 hits. CF Gary Harris started the night by hitting a bomb over the center field wall for a solo homerun that got the Silver Sox pumped. Harris went two for five scoring one run and one RBI.

C D.J. Dixon knocked in his first of seven RBIs in the second inning when he singled to score RF Juan Senreiso. Dixon had an amazing night against the Cracker Cats pitching staff as he went four for five on the night with two runs in four hits.

DH Steve Alexander also had a good night as he had two hits on five at bats as well as one run and four RBIs, including a three run shot in the fourth inning. 2B Carlos Madrid also earned an RBI on a fielder?s choice in the fourth inning. Madrid went two for four and had two runs.

The Sox kept a strong lead until the Cracker Cats tried to surge back with a six run ninth inning off Ravenscraft. The defense was able to keep the Cats at bay for the victory.

The Silver Sox finish their three game series against the Cracker Cats tonight before they begin a three game series against the leaders in the north division the Calgary Vipers.
