Recap


            The 51s got back to their winning ways Tuesday night in New Orleans, which put another game between Las Vegas and El Paso in the Pacific Southern division of the PCL – they now have a 2.5 game lead. It was vintage Dillon Gee on the mound for Las Vegas Tuesday night, as he had his best changeup working, which led to a lot of weak contact pulled to his middle infielders. On offense, Eric Campbell had a huge game, but Las Vegas could only score during one of the four frames that he had a hit in, and they needed the help of a two-error play in the 3rd to do so. Brandon Allen and then Darrell Ceciliani would add solo blasts in the 4th and 5th innings, respectively, for some insurance runs, with both of them hitting a homerun off of a lefty reliever. Zack Thornton and John Church each worked an inning of scoreless relief after Gee to hold onto the 7th shutout of the season for Las Vegas.
            This series wraps up Wednesday night at 7:00 PM, with Darin Gorski (9-8, 5.17 ERA) scheduled to pitch opposite Rob Morey (2-6, 3.89 ERA).


Scoring Highlights


            Dilson Herrera and Eric Campbell each singled in the 1st inning, but Dilson was caught stealing 3B shortly before Campbell picked up his first hit of the game.



            Johnny Monell led off the 2nd with a double pulled down the RF line.


            A two out walk to Darrell Ceciliani kept the inning alive, and then he’d score when the Zephyrs made two throwing errors on infield single from Campbell.


            Brandon Allen led off the 4th inning with his 16th blast of the year.


            Ceciliani hit a one out homerun to right center field in the 5th. He has 9 homeruns with Las Vegas + 1 with the Mets in 2015, which bests his previous high of 7 for a season.

It splashes into the pool

            Jayce Boyd doubled Matt Reynolds to 3B with two outs in the 6th, and then Dillon Gee drew a walk to load the bases, but Dilson would fly out to end the threat. Boyd would add a single in the 8th, and then Campbell added a double in the 9th, but neither hit amounted to more than a runner at 2B.




Defensive Highlights


            Pitcher’s should be forced to watch Dillon Gee field this bunt back to the mound before Spring Training PFP, because he does it perfectly.


            Matt Reynolds making a routine play in the 5th, and a less routine play in the 6th.
