Recapish


            The Las Vegas 51s took a 9-2 beating for their second straight loss in Tacoma Saturday night. The offense showed signs of life early, but went missing after Ty Kelly picked up his second hit of the game in the 5th. In total, the final 13 Las Vegas batters were set down in a row, and the game raced to a finish as a result.
            The 51s were actually up 1-0 early, though maybe the way they scored that run should’ve been an omen of things to come. With runners on the corners and nobody out, Michael Conforto grounded into a double play to bring home Ty Kelly. After the first two batters of the game picked up hits, Las Vegas finished just 3-28 with one walk and no more extra base hits.
            Tacoma tied the game up with a run in the 2nd, and then took control of the game with 5 in the 3rd. The Rainiers finished with eight hits, included two doubles and a triple, as they tied and then took control of the game. Stefen Romero’s double and D.J. Peterson’s triple both brought home a pair of runs, and it didn’t take long for Peterson to come home after his hit.
            Las Vegas scratched out another run in the 4th, but the game was never really in question after that 3rd inning outburst. I break down the few scoring details with highlights below, so enjoy! This series wraps up Sunday night at 10:05 PM, with Gabriel Ynoa (9-3, 3.77 ERA) looking to get Las Vegas back on track and collect his 10th win of the season.
