The Salt Lake Bees ended a three-game losing streak Monday at Smith’s Ballpark when Ben Revere scored on an 11th-inning sacrifice fly by Nolan Fontana for a 5-4 Pacific Coast League victory over the Albuquerque Isotopes.
The game was tied 3-3 at the end of nine innings before each team scored in the 10th. With the new minor league extra-inning runner rule in effect, the Isotopes started the 10th with Tom Murphy on second base, and he scored on a single by Josh Fuentes.
The Bees tied the game in the bottom of the 10th when Jose Miguel Fernandez scored on a wild pitch with the bases loaded.
Salt Lake reliever Vicente Campos (1-1) earned the win, holding the Isotopes scoreless in the 11th despite giving up two walks.
The Bees score all three of their runs in regulation following triples, as Sherman Johnson, Eric Young Jr. and Michael Hermosillo all hit three baggers and came around to score. Young Jr. finished 3 for 5 to lead Bees batters.
