Eleven out of twelve! I knew the run couldn't last forever but I was determined to ride the tide as long as I was able.
Pitching and defense.
But now we headed back on the road against the best team in the Pacific Conference.
ALBUQUERQUE ISOTOPES (20-12) AT RENO ACES (22-10)
May 8: A thrilling back and forth game. Mike Tauchman had three doubles and Shawn O'Malley had three ribbies but we came up just short. Reno 9 Isotopes 8.
May 9: Ramiel Tapia was a home run run short of the cycle as we slipped past the Aces by a single run. Isotopes 4 Reno 3.
May 10: Tyler Anderson was sent back to Colorado and in his place we received Antonio Senzatela. Senzatela went into the ace role of the staff. The offense meanwhile just went nuts. For the second straight game, Tapia was a home run short of the cycle. Anthony Phillips homered in our nine run first inning. Shawn O'Malley scored three times. Isotopes 16 Reno 4.
May 11: German Marquez pitched well through seven but they got a pair in the eighth to manage the series split. Reno 4 Isotopes 2.
ALBUQUERQUE ISOTOPES (22-14) AT LAS VEGAS 51S (15-21)
Our pitching took another more serious blow. Chad Bettis was lost for the season because of a fractured elbow. Matt Flemer moved into the five spot in the rotation.
May 12: Colby Lewis does the job with seven innings and Anthony Phillips had a four hit day. Isotopes 11 Las Vegas 6.
May 13: Senzatela made his Isotopes debut and was not good. Las Vegas 7 Isotopes 2.
May 14: Raimel Tapia was named the Pacific Conference Player of the Week as we fell to number five in the Weekly Power Rankings. The injuries were starting to catch up with us however. Las Vegas 6 Isotopes 3.
May 15: We salvaged the split this time. Ryan McMahon had two homers and Wes Rogers also homered. Meanwhile, David Holman allowed just one earned run in six innings. Isotopes 8 Las Vegas 4.
