ALBUQUERQUE ISOTOPES AT SALT LAKE CITY BEES

Smith's Ballpark, located in Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, is the largest ballpark in the PCL. We would start the season with a 5 game series in Salt Lake City. Yes. Five!

April 5: Opening Day! My nerves stood on end as I chomped down on a piece of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum and sipped on a Pepsi. My first soda in 8 months. My stomach was going to hate me later. Chad Bettis was not good. He didn't even get out of the fourth inning. Ryan McMahon had a two run single in the seventh to make the final score closer than it actually should have been. Salt Lake City 5 Isotopes 3.

April 7: A rainout on the sixth brought about a double header on the seventh. In the first game, we held a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth. With bases loaded and two out, Shawn O'Malley hit a two run single that put the game away. Isotopes 7 Bees 2. In the second game, we were tied 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth. The Bees then put up a crooked number. Salt Lake City 6 Isotopes 3.

April 8: This time we led 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth but the Bees scored twice to walk off. Salt Lake City 3 Isotopes 2.

April 9: It's the first release of the season for the Weekly Power Rankings. We rank 11th out of 16 teams. In the finale in Salt Lake City, we put up four runs in the first inning, taking advantage of two errors. Isotopes 6 Salt Lake City 4.

We head back home for six games. Three of which will be against the Bees.
