Then we right back in Tacoma, Washington. The schedule really made no sense. El Paso is in our division and right next door to us. We have yet to play the Chihuahuas but we were already making our second trip to Tacoma.

ALBUQUERQUE ISOTOPES (13-11) AT TACOMA RAINIERS (15-8)
April 30: We had moved up all the way to number seven in the Weekly Power Rankings. We fell behind 3-0 but rallied again and after seven it was 3-3. In the top of the eighth, a sac fly from Derrik Gibson got us the win. Isotopes 4 Tacoma 3.

May 1: It is a shame we aren't at home. Would have been cool to have given Brett Oberholtzer his Pitcher of the Month Award. We can do it when we get back. If the Rockies don't call him up first. The send us reliever Luke Hochevar from Asheville. That gives us three setup guys to choose from. As for the game, we blow a 4-1 lead as they get three in the seventh. But, Justin Ruggiano hit a two run double in the eighth and we have our sixth straight win. Isotopes 6 Tacoma 4.

May 2: The win streak ended. Ugly. Tacoma 9 Isotopes 2.

May 3: The Rockies do call up a pitcher. But it is not Oberholtzer. It is Jeff Hoffman. Again. We get Chad Bettis back in return. I put Bettis in the number three spot in the rotation. Tyler Anderson gives up just a run in seven innings. Anthony Phillips has a three hit day. We take three out of four. Isotopes 7 Tacoma 1.
