The Sacramento River Cats had just lost the lead in Thursday's game when they responded in a record-setting way.
The Triple-A Giants affiliate scored a franchise-best 13 runs in the top of the seventh in Thursday's 17-7 win over the Colorado Springs Sky Sox at Security Service Field. The frame fell three runs shy of the Pacific Coast League record, set by Salt Lake City on Aug. 18, 1923.
Gameday box score
Leadoff man
His first long ball cleared the center-field fence to lead off the sixth inning and tied the game, 2-2. He contributed to the record an inning later with an RBI double to left and beat out an RBI single to third. He led off the ninth with his second homer of the game to right-center, taking advantage of the 17-mph wind blowing out to right. The dinger was his sixth of the year after he blasted 11 in 126 games across two levels in 2016.
Sacramento's first seven batters reached base in the seventh with Calixte's double driving in
Fellow right-hander
Federowicz reached four times on the day -- three hits and one walk -- and plated three to join Calixte, Slater and Marrero with at least three RBIs for Sacramento. The four drove in 14 of Sacramento's 17 runs.
