Mike Bacsik improved to 8-0 and the Sidewinders are leaving Las Vegas with a 4-game split to remain 10 games in front in their division. Bacsik was in trouble early, giving up a double and hitting a batter to start the game. He got out unscathed when Kenny Perez threw out a runner trying to score from 2nd on a single. He settled down after that and tossed 6 shutout innings. He gave up 5 hits and struck out 2.
His offense gave him plenty of run support. The Sidewinders scored a run in the 2nd then used the long ball to stretch the lead in the next 2 innings. Chris Carter hit a laser-shot to right-center for 3 runs in the 3rd and Stephen Drew had a towering 3-run monster homer to right to make it 7-0 in the 4th. The Sidewinders blew the game open with an ugly 7th inning. 2 walks and a hit by pitch loaded the bases with no outs. After a strike out and a sac fly made it 8-0, Micah Owings was called in to pinch-hit for Bacsik. Owings was hit in the head by a pitch and though he wasn’t injured, he was very angry and had to be escorted off the field by his manager. A bases-loaded walk, 2 RBI singles and an error made the score 12-0.
The Sidewinders improved to 52-33 and return home to face Tacoma.
