Great Falls Voyagers News Release
Great Falls, MT - Tonight the Great Falls White Sox were defeated by the Casper Rockies 8-1 at Centene Stadium. James Casey (0-1) took the loss in relief for the Sox as he allowed the go ahead run to score in the sixth inning. The win went to Jay Metzger (1-1) as he worked five innings, allowing one run on one hit. The save went to Sean Ruthven (1) as he worked three shutout innings from the bullpen.
Casper scored first in the ball game when Radames Nazario singled home Dexter Fowler in the third inning. Great Falls then tied up the game in the fourth inning on a Manny Rodriguez double that scored Brandon Allen from first base.
