Brewers comeback and defeat Ogden 9-6

July 25, 2012
For three and a half innings it appeared as though the Ogden Raptors would cruise for an easy victory at Kindrick Legion Field. However, the Brewers tallied five runs in the bottom of the fourth and never looked back winning 9-6.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Brewers loaded the bases thanks to singles by Adam Giacalone and Michael Turay, which were followed by an error by Ogden third baseman Alex Santana. Ruben Ozuna then brought the Brewers back into the game when he blasted a 2-0 pitch for a bases clearing triple. Ozuna finished the game going 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored.

The Brewers finished the contest plating nine runs, seven of which were unearned. The Raptors committed four errors Wednesday evening, two of which were charged to Alex Santana. Pitcher Kazuki Nishijima was also charged with an error on a pickoff attempt as well as Malcom Holland on a grounder. In addition to the error, Nishijima was credited with his first loss of the season dropping his record to 5-1.

For Helena, Brent Suter poured in another quality outing. The lefty threw five innings allowing no earned runs and just one hit. The performance improved Suter's record to 3-2 and dropped his ERA to 4.40. Also of note, first baseman Adam Giacalone clubbed his first professional home run.

Friday, the Brewers will head on the Billings Mustangs for the first game in three game series at Billings. First pitch is slated for 7:05 and the gates open at 6:00. The Brewers return home August 1, to Mustangs. Call the Brewers office for tickets at (406)-495-0500 or visit helenabrewers.net.
