Isotopes Defeat 51s, 5-3
The Albuquerque Isotopes weathered an outstanding game by Las Vegas catcher Chris Pongratz to topple the 51s, 5-3. Pongratz went 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times. Jay Kelleher, the winning pitcher, improved to 2-1. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 7 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 2. Nick Avery earned his 14th save in 15 chances.

Had James LaRatta not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, LaRatta hit a 2-run single. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Isotopes.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Albuquerque manager Ryan Gangle.

The Isotopes saw their win-loss record go to 67-56. At the same time, the 51s fell to 75-48.
