Sacramento 15, Grizzlies 10
Thursday August 14, 2003
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) In one inning, the Sacramento River Cats
scored 10 runs and got nine hits in 15 plate appearances en route
to a 15-10 victory Wednesday over the Fresno Grizzlies.
The River Cats started the eighth inning with six consecutive
hits. After the first four, Grizzlies closer Manny Aybar was called
in.
Aybar gave up two singles before recording the inning's first
out on a strikeout. He followed by getting Luis Lopez to pop up,
but the onslaught continued with the River Cats drawing three walks
and getting three more hits before shortstop Carlos Mendoza caught
a pop-up for the final out.
It marked the most runs and the most hits the Grizzlies had
allowed in one inning all season. It tied the most runs the
Grizzlies had given up in a game.
Grizzlies starter Jimmy Anderson allowed eight hits and gave up
three earned runs in six innings. Joe Horgan struck out the first
two batters he faced, but was tagged with the loss for giving up
five hits and six earned runs in one inning.
River Cats reliever Mike Kusiewicz got the victory, giving up no
hits or runs in 2/3 of an inning.
