Bees Lose Late, 7-5
Salt Lake got a terrific performance from pitcher J.R. Purcell, but it wasn't enough to beat the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Colorado Springs won the Smith's Ballpark contest, 7-5. Purcell threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Tommy Waterbury was the winner. He's now 1-0. The loser was 26-year old right-handed pitcher Andy George. Nick Daniel picked up the save, his 1st.

Youngstown, Ohio-born Josh Valencia came through in the clutch. In the top of the eighth, with the bases loaded and the Sky Sox trailing 2-1, he hit a 2-run single to center to put Colorado Springs on top.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Sky Sox manager Nate Bouse.

The first-place Sky Sox improved to 21-12.
