Escobar Blasts Isotopes, River Cats Take Game 1, 5-2
The Sacramento River Cats started the Round 1 in style, winning on the road against the Albuquerque Isotopes at Isotopes Park by a score of 5-2 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. River Cats right fielder Sal Escobar excelled. He went 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs.

Bill Horan helped out the Sacramento cause in the top of the sixth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the first baseman went 2 for 5 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

"It's hard to overstate how much this mattered to us, especially in a short series," Sacramento manager Damian Rivera said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Isotopes Park in Albuquerque.
