The
Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino played in their fourth
consecutive extra-inning game Sunday night and fell 4-3 in ten
innings to the Lake Elsinore Storm.
After
winning on Thursday in extra-innings at Rancho Cucamonga, the 66ers
were swept in a three-game set at Lake Elsinore with each game ending
in a walk-off tenth inning for the Storm.
The
Storm took a 2-0 lead in the third inning on an RBI double by Esteury
Ruiz and RBI ground out by Xavier Edwards. The inning
looked to get worse with one out Eguy Rosario lifted a ball to
left.
Ruiz,
now at third, tagged and coasted home on what appeared to be an easy
sac fly. Inland Empire LF Zane Gurwitz rifled a perfect throw
to the played and IE catcher Franklin Torres casually faked
the runner into not sliding and then tagged him out for a double
play. Ruiz was lifted from the game.
In
the fourth Gurwitz doubled, his fourth in four games since rejoining
the Sixers from Double-A. Gleyvin Pineda then extended his hit
streak to nine games with an RBI single and a 2-1 deficit for the
66ers (39-68, 13-25).
Trailing
3-1 in the seventh, the Sixers tied the game on Gareth Morgan's
two-run singled up the box. The game remained tied until the home
half of tenth when Allen Cordoba knocked home Edwards on a
two-out game-winning RBI single to left, his third hit of the game.
Zack
Kelly (0-1) took a tough-luck loss going allowing the one
unearned run in 4.0IP. Eliot Ashbeck (5-2) earned the win for
Lake Elsinore (55-51, 20-18) with three no-hit innings for the Storm.
The
66ers will host Visalia on Tuesday at 7:05 pm. The contest can be
