The Rally Monkey Must Be In Salt Lake

The Salt Lake Bees rallied with two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat Sacramento 11-10 in the second game of their best-of-5 playoff series. Adam Pavkovich singled home Matt Brown and Brandon Wood for the win.

It was the second consecutive night that the Bees came from behind in the last inning to win the game.

Brandon Wood led off the bottom of the 9th with a single. Matt Brown followed with a double that moved Wood to third. Pavkovich singled on a full count to right field scoring both runners. In their previous win, the Bees also did not make an out in their comeback inning.

The Bees trailed 10-6 in the 8th inning and rallied for 3 runs on hits by Tommy Murphy, Mike Eylward and Terry Evans and a key Sacramento error.

Six Salt Lake players had 2 hits in the game: Casey Smith, Tommy Murphy, Mike Eylward, Terry Evans, Nick Gorneault and Matt Brown.

The Bees play Friday night at Sacramento where they could close out the series. The winner of the series will play the winner of the Nashville Sounds (Brewers) vs New Orleans Zephyrs (Mets) series. New Orleans currently has a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 series.
