1) Swift lined a double into the left-center field gap. 2B7/L78

2) Shuck lined an RBI double into the RF corner on a first pitch fastball. He got caught in a run down between 2B and 3B after the throw into the infield got away and his instincts incorrectly told him he could make it to 3B. 2B9/L9L -> 9814 (per gameday, didn’t see the relay man, just saw it rolling on the infield before he took off)

4) Martinez popped out to Allen in foul ground. 3/P3F

Totals: BB, LOBster

7^th inning

Top (Substitution: Jeremy Berg pitching for Utah)

1) Campbell struck out swinging at a breaking ball.

2) Nieuwenhuis hit a lazy fly ball out to RF. 9/F9

3) Flores hit a grounder off the end of his bat to 2B. 43/G4

Totals: SO

Bottom

1) O’Malley lined a one-hopper into the SS hole that Flores flagged down with the back hand, but his throw was made quick but without much strength and didn’t appear to have a chance against the speed of O’Mally anyway. S6/G56

2) Swift lined out to 2B. 4/L4

3) Shuck walks on a full count after a long at-bat.

(Substitution: Zack Thornton pitching for Las Vegas)

4) Lindsey hit a groundball at 1B Allen, who threw to 2B for one, but the throw got behind Thornton covering 1B (kind of awkwardly it appeared, my feed lagged during that play), allowing O’Malley to score. FC36/G3 -> E6

5) Lopez flew out to CF. 8/F8

Totals: R, H, BB, E, LOBster

8^th inning

Top (Substitution: Dane De La Rosa pitching for Uta)

1) Dykstra grounded out to the 2B. 43/G4

2) Brown struck out swinging at a high fastball.

3) Allen flied out to LF. 7/F7

Totals: SO

Bottom (Substitution: Josh Edgin pitching for Las Vegas)

1) Navarro hit a grounder at 3B. 53/G5

2) Boesch struck out swinging at an outside slider – was nice.

3) Long couldn’t check his swing striking out on a breaking ball that ended up bouncing.

Totals: 2 SO

9^th inning

Top (Brandon Lyon pitching for Utah)

1) ∂en Dekker struck out swinging.

2) Seratelli grounded out to 1B. 3u/G3

3) Centeno hit a grounder into the SS hole, backhanded by O’Malley. The throw came up short and then bounced up the arm of Lopez for an infield single.

4) Campbell lined out near the 1B bag. 3/L3

Totals: H, SO, LOBster

Bottom (Substitution: Vic Black pitching for Las Vegas)

1) Martinez hit a high 3-2 fastball sharply right at the 2B (Black hit 98 and 99 MPH). 43/G4

2) O’Malley pulled a hard grounder to the right of Allen and was thinking double from start – second time he ‘stole’ a base, makes sense why Wilmer was rushing his throw so much earlier. 2B9/G34

*On a 1-2 pitch, O’Malley was caught stealing thanks to a great Centeno throw.

3) Swift grounded a single up the middle. S8/GM

4) Shuck grounded a single through the 2B hole. S9/G34

5) Navarro flied out to CF.

Totals: 3 H, 2B, CS, 2 LOBsters, Save
