It was “even steven” on the farm Friday, but Pitchers were knocked around pretty hard and the bats were nothing to write home about.  So 3-3 on the night actually sounds a lot better than the performances turned in by the affiliates.



Las Vegas 4  Sacramento 11

4,251 Cashman Field fans saw their hometown 51s drop their second straight to the River Cats.  Starter and losing pitcher Brad Mills (7-7) was slammed for 10 hits, 7 runs and 3 HRs in his 7.0 IP.  Overall Las Vegas pitchers gave up 15 hits and 5 HRs.

Brian Jeroloman (1 for 4, 2 RBIs) produced half of the 51s runs in the 2nd when his single plated Kevin Howard (2 for 5, R, RBI, K) and Chris Woodward (1 for 3, R, BB, K) after they both singled.  Howard batted one in with his second hit, a single in the third.  And the last Las Vegas run came in the 9th when Adam Loewen (2 for 4, 2B, RBI, BB, 2 Ks) doubled in Darin Mastroianni (0 for 3, R, 2 BB) who had walked.  Ricardo Nanita (1 for 5) and Manny Mayoson (1 for 4) each put up a single on the evening.
