Colorado Springs scored nine runs over the 1st 2 innings to take control, and the Sky Sox cruised to an 11-6 win over the Salt Lake Bees on Saturday night.
After the Bees took the lead in the top of the 1st on an RBI double by Paul McAnulty, the Sky Sox roared back with 5 runs in the 1st and 4 more in the 2nd, all of the runs off of Salt Lake starting pitcher Ryan Ketchner (4-5).
Former Salt Lake Stinger Alfredo Amazega led Colorado Springs with three hits, 2 double, and three RBIs.
McAnulty was the lone bright spot for the Bees, as he had three hits, including 2 doubles and a home run, with 5 runs batted in. Tyson Auer added two hits to extend his hitting streak to a season best ten games, as Salt Lake needs a win on Sunday to avoid being swept in the series at Colorado Springs.
Ketchner only lasted 1 2/3 innings before he was pulled. All of the 9 runs he allowed were earned. He recorded no strikeouts and walked 2 batters. Jeremy Berg relieved Ketchner and allwed two runs off of three hits in three innings of work.
Today's game is the Bees' final contest before the All Star break. Salt Lake will host the Triple A All Star game on Wednesday.
