Recap


            The 51s offense finally came out of hibernation Thursday night as Las Vegas built a big lead early, but then Vic Black’s first PCL rehab appearance went horribly wrong, and Memphis came back from a 6 run deficit to win. Las Vegas starter Darin Gorski had a typical Gorski outing, with his mistakes leading to extra base hits in 3 of the 4 innings he allowed a run. He left with a 4-run lead that would not last very long, as Black could only retire 1 of 5 batters he faced, and then Chase Bradford allowed the tying runs to score. Bradford stayed on for the 8th and quickly found himself in trouble thanks to an E5. Scott Rice would come in with one out 3 batters later, but he just allowed an RBI single to a lefty. Jon Velasquez would replace Rice and retire the final two of the frame, but the first batter hit a fly ball to CF that was deep enough for a sac fly.
            The series wraps up Friday at 8:05 PM, with Steven Matz looking to end a 9-game losing streak, and the 51s look to avoid a winless road trip.


Scoring Highlights


            The first 6 batters reached and scored for Las Vegas in the 3rd, all against starter Nick Greenwood: Darin Gorski doubled, Cory Vaughn singled, Daniel Muno walked, Matt Reynolds singled back up the middle, Johnny Monell reached on an infield single to the SS, and Brooks Conrad capped it with a grand slam.





            After Gorski led off the 4th with a walk , the 51s combined for 2 runs on 3 singles to take an 8-2 lead: Vaughn singled, Reynolds singled Muno home after a fielder’s choice that led Gorski’s run, and Monell added another single.
