Fresno 5, Sacramento 4
Friday August 15, 2003
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) Noah Lowry held the Sacramento River Cats
scoreless for seven innings in his Triple-A debut Thursday, and the
Fresno Grizzlies won, 5-4, in 10 innings.
The 22-year-old left-hander gave up five hits and two earned
runs in 7 2/3 innings, walking three and striking out three.
In the eighth, he got the first batter to fly out, but Mike Rose
doubled and scored on Jose Flores' single. Flores then scored on
Chris Prieto's ground-rule double that bounced into the right-field
stands.
In the bottom of the inning, Todd Linden hit a two-out,
run-scoring double in the bottom of the eighth to tie it. Francisco
Santos drove in the go-ahead run with a triple down the right-field
line.
With Grizzlies reliever Matt Montgomery on the mound in the
ninth, Sacramento's Graham Koonce reached base on a walk. Mike
Edwards next blasted a homer off Grizzlies reliever Matt Montgomery
to tie it again.
The Grizzlies committed two errors in the top of the 10th, but
closer Luis Estrella got out of the jam. Santos got the
game-winning hit in the bottom of the 10th. His single drove in
Alberto Castillo, who reached on a walk, advanced on a sacrifice,
and made it to third on a wild pitch.
