51s Take Game One

All nine Las Vegas batters had at least one hit, as the 51s rolled to a 9-2 win over the Salt Lake Bees on Wednesday night. The Bees took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, as Rafael Ortega and Sherman Johnson opened the game with back to back doubles. Las Vegas came back with a pair of two out RBI hits in the bottom of the first to take a 2-1 lead that they would not relinquish. Eight of the nine runs scored by the 51s were driven in after two outs in the inning.

Salt Lake starter Chris Jones (5-11) took the loss, as he allowed six runs on thirteen hits in five innings with two strikeouts and one walk. Ortega led the Bees with two hits, both of which were doubles, while Johnson and Daniel Nava each drove in a run.
