Tepera sharp again for Salt River

Jays prospect tosses five scoreless frames; Sox rally for tie
October 31, 2012
Salt River 2, Mesa 2

Rafters starter Ryan Tepera (Blue Jays) scattered five hits over five scoreless innings on Wednesday, but Mesa plated a pair of late runs to force a 2-2 tie in a game called after nine innings when both bullpens were depleted. The Solar Sox could not solve Tepera, who walked one and struck out five in his second scoreless start in the Arizona Fall League, but scored on an RBI double by Orioles No. 3 prospect Jonathan Schoop in the eighth and a base hit by Dodgers prospect Rafael Ynoa in the bottom of the ninth. Salt River's Jason Martinson (Nationals) put the Rafters on the board first when he doubled and scored on a base hit by Rockies prospect Corey Dickerson in the fifth, and Tyler Bortnick (D-backs) pushed the lead to 2-0 in the eighth, tripling and scoring on a throwing error.
