Owlz Snap Brewers Streak At Four

Orem, UT - In search of a five game winning streak and a series sweep, the Brewers fell in a hole early and never recovered against Orem. The Owlz scored in the first and never looked back, winning 7-4. Helena's winning streak ends at four, but they finish the seven game road trip 4-3.
For the second straight night, Orem scored a pair of runs in the first. Jeremiah Jackson drew a leadoff walk, and got to third as Kevin Maitan followed him with a double. With D'Shawn Knowles up, Lemons balked home the first run, and one batter later Francisco Del Valle brought home Maitan with a sacrifice fly, making it 2-0 Owlz.
Orem busted the game open in the third, as Rayneldy Rosario started the inning by reaching on an error. Jackson tripled him home, and Maitan then singled home Jackson. Knowles then delivered the big blow with a two run homer, extending the Orem lead to 6-0.
Owlz starter Cristopher Molina allowed a one out single to Yeison Coca in the first, but didn't allow a hit the rest of his outing. The right hander picked up the win, striking out a season high eight over five shutout innings. Helena's offense eventually got going, as they scored four runs over the last three innings, but it was not enough.
