Rockies Topple Owlz, 10-4, as Dean Shines
The Grand Junction Rockies took on the Orem Owlz at Brent Brown Ballpark.

Luis Dean led Grand Junction to a triumph over Orem. The final score was 10-4. The right fielder went 4 for 5, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 2 runs and added 4 RBI. Dave Ritchie, who is tied for 7th in the PIO in strikeouts with 41, was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 6 strikeouts. Matt Kennedy picked up the save, his 2nd.

Tied up with the Owlz in the top of the fifth inning, the Rockies got a boost from third baseman Josh Staal. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Staal saw a 1-1 fastball from Jon Valdez and hit a run-scoring single to break the stalemate and put Grand Junction on top, 5-4.

"This is not a one-man show," said Dean. "A lot of the guys stepped up."

With the win, the Rockies improved to 29-10.
