Salt Lake Bees: Bellhorn's HRs finish off Bees

In a game that was close throughout, the Sky Sox pulled out the victory 4-2 over the Bees Thursday, thanks in part to Mark Bellhorn.

The Sky Sox stuck first as Matt Murton singled home Eric Young Jr. in the bottom of the first inning to give the Sox an early 1-0 lead. Colorado Springs' lead didn't last long, however, as Salt Lake scored in the top of the second when catcher Bobby Wilson belted a homer to left field off Sox starter Franklin Morales.

The Bees tied the game again in the top of the third by way of another solo bomb, this time by Patchett, that tied the game at 2-2.

The game would stay tied until the sixth when Sox designated hitter Bellhorn cranked a ball to left-center field for a solo homer giving the Sox a 3-2 lead. Bellhorn wasn't finished there as he added another solo blast in the eighth, this time a towering shot to left.

Ryan Speier (1-0) would pick up the win for the Sky Sox after replacing Morales in the fifth.
