Recap
Dillon
Gee settled in to give the 51s a solid start in their finale with Fresno
Thursday night, and Las Vegas would earn a win to split the season series with
one of the top teams in the PCL – these two teams are now tied for the second
best record in the league. The 51s would bust out for 9 runs over the middle
innings thanks to 3 big flies, and then the Las Vegas pen shut down the Grizz
over the final 3+ innings.
The
Grizzlies touched Gee for 2 runs on 3 doubles in the 1st inning,
capped by a massive shot from Matt Duffy that bounced mid-way up the CF wall,
which is 433 feet from home plate at Cashman Field. Then Gee got nasty,
striking out 5 of the next 7 batters over the 2nd and 3rd
innings. With one out in the 4th, Duffy got a hold of another Gee
fastball, and this time he knocked it over the wall (hard to tell from the
MiLBtv angle, but the announcers thought the double was hit further).
Las
Vegas jumped ahead thanks to a big 4th inning, scoring 4 runs on 5
hits in the frame. Johnny Monell launched a two run homerun to put the 51s on
the board, and then Cory Vaughn launched a two run homerun to give the 51s the
lead – they’d also get doubles from Brooks Conrad and Dan Rohlfing in the
inning.
Frenso
would come right back and tie it in the 5th inning on a leadoff
double from Max Stassi, who would then come around to score on a throwing error
from Dilson Herrera. Dilson made up for it by leading off the bottom of the 5th
inning with a double. Monell would knock Dilson in with a single into CF, and
then came around to score on a blast from Brandon Allen.
Dan Rohlfing’s second sparked the games
final rally in the 6th. Wilfredo Tovar followed with a single and
stolen base, his 25th of the season, which is 8 more than his
previous career high (from 2009!). Dilson and Monell would pick up RBI singles later
in the inning, giving the 51s a comfortable 9-4 lead.
Las Vegas heads to Reno for their next
series against the Aces, with Logan Verrett (3-1, 2.93 ERA) scheduled to pitch
for the 51s.
