Recap


            Las Vegas jumped ahead big early against New Orleans, and then never looked back as they took the series finale. Johnny Monell led the way on offense for the 51s, but it was really a team effort, with even starting pitcher Darin Gorski joining the hit party – see below for full scoring details and some highlights. Gorski was wild on the mound early, throwing only ~50% strikes over the first 2 innings while allowing a pair of runs. He worked around trouble in the 3rd and 4th innings, and left with a 10-3 lead after 5. New Orleans started mounting a comeback after Gorski left, closing to 10-6 by the 7th, but then Zack Thornton and Scott Rice closed things out over the final two frames.
            The 51s travel to Texas to open a series with the Round Rock Express Thursday night, and Tim Stauffer (3-0, 2.75 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for Las Vegas at 8:05 PM.


Scoring Highlights


            With two outs in the 1st inning, a walk to Eric Campbell opened the door for a 3-run frame. Johnny Monell followed with his first hit of the day, and then Plaw singled home Soup for a 1-0 lead. Brandon Allen then provided the big hit of the inning, bringing home two runs with a triple just fair down the RF line.




            Darin Gorski issued a leadoff walk to Isaac Galloway in the 1st inning, and then Vinny Rottino would single him home with two outs.

            Gorski has kept a high batting average at the plate this year, and he helped himself with a one out single in the 2nd today. Darrell Ceciliani would double him home two batters later, with Dilson Herrera (walk) advancing to 3B on the play. Monell would later drive both runners in for the 51s second straight 3-run frame.



            Galloway doubled home Austin Wates in then 2nd to make it a 6-2 game.

            Monell would hit a two run bomb in the 4th inning, driving in Eric Campbell (single) along the way.


You can see it splash into the back of the pool

            Matt Reynolds sparked the final Las Vegas rally of the game with a leadoff single in the 5th. He’d advanced to 2B on a single to RF off the bat of Eric Young, and both runners moved up on a sac bunt from Gorski, before scoring on a pair of fielder’s choice groundouts.



            Rottino led off the bottom of the 5th with a double for New Orleans, and then Austin Nola singled him home two batters later.

            Kevin Plawecki added a leadoff double in the 6th, but the 51s could get nothing out of the frame. Travis Taijeron joined the hit party with a single in the 9th.



            New Orleans would load the bases with one out in the 6th inning, but they could manage only one run on an RBI single from Donavan Solano before Nola ended the threat with a double play groundout.

            Kila Ka’aihue led off the 7th inning with a double, and then came home on a wild pitch two batters later. Reid Brignac would single home Juan Diaz later in the frame to make this a 10-6 game.



Defensive Highlights


            The 51s turned a 6-4-3 double play started by Daniel Muno in the 6th inning, and then Dilson Herrera making a nice play in the 9th inning.
