SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Salt Lake Bees scored five runs in the eighth inning to snap a 2-2 tie and went on to defeat Sacramento 7-2 on Friday night.
The Bees loaded the bases in the eighth with two singles and a walk and then took a 3-2 lead when Adam Pavkovich was hit by a pitch. Gary Patchett singled to right to make it 4-2 and Abel Nieves followed with a two-run single to center. Brad Coon closed out the scoring with a sacrifice fly to make it 7-2.
Jeremy Hill (2-3) got the win after allowing Sacramento to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh. Former River Cats pitcher Brad Knox had an outstanding start for the Bees, as he allowed just one run on five hits in six innings of work with four strikeouts and two walks.
