Home Runs:
SAC Daric Barton (4) off Nick Green in the 5th inning |
TIME: 2:29 ATT: 4,981 |
| Sacramento's four-run 5th inning was all that the River Cats (AAA Athletics)
needed to defeat the Salt Lake Bees (AAA Angels) on Sunday afternoon at Raley Field
in West Sacramento, California. The 4-2 victory clinched the 2007 Pacific Coast League Pacific
Conference Championship for the River Cats. |
| Salt Lake was looking like they might have a chance of winning based on taking
a 1st inning lead. Casey Smith walked, took third base on Mike Eylward's ground-rule double, and
Terry Evans doubled to drive them both in. After the second out of the inning on a strikeout, Brandon
Wood singled and advanced to second base on a passed ball to put Evans and Wood in scoring
position before Matt Brown struck out to end the inning. |
| Sacramento was able to keep it close (a two run defecit) until they plated four in the 5th
inning to claim the lead. Gregorio Petit singled and two outs later,
Nick Blasi singled and Lou Merloni singled to drive in Petit. Daric Barton followed with a three-run homer to
right field. |

| NOTES:
The Bees were unable to put a nail in the River Cats coffin in the series. After winning the
first two games, Salt Lake only needed to win one of the remaining three games to move on
to the PCL Championship series. Sacramento went on a three-game winning streak on their
home field to claim the conference championship.
Daric Barton homered in three of Sacramento's five games in the series. In today's
game, Barton went 2x3 with a homer, 3 RBI and a run scored. . . .
Jerry Blevins was masterful for the River Cats in earning the only save recorded in the
series for either club. Blevins held the two-run Sacramento lead over the final three frames,
allowing just a hit and striking out 6 Bees. . . .
The River Cats meet the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets) in the 2007 Pacific Coast League
Championship. The first two games are in New Orleans beginning on Tuesday night, while
Game 3 (and Games 4 and 5, if necessary) are played in Sacramento. Probables have not
yet been named.

Former-Isotope Jorgensen Suspended 50 Games
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced Friday that
former-Isotope and current Cincinnati Reds player Ryan Jorgensen
was suspended 50 games for violating Major League Baseball's
Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The Commissioner
was not specific as to whether Jorgensen tested positive for
a performance-enhancing substance or a substance of abuse.
Jorgensen was on the Reds active roster from August 14-26,
2007 and played in four games with the Reds, belting two
homers and driving in six.

beginning on Tuesday evening. |

New Orleans' Kevin Mulvey and Carlos Muniz struck out 10 Sounds in the shutout. The
Zephyrs themselves whiffed 11 times in the game. . . .
The Zephyrs' Jesus Feliciano was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, having gone 3x4 with a double,
homer and 3 RBI. . . .
The Zephyrs will have to wait another day to find out who they will play in the 2007 PCL
Championship series. The Salt Lake Bees (AAA Angels) had a chance to take the PCL
Pacific Conference title, but the Bees lost to the Sacramento River Cats (AAA Athletics),
forcing the title-deciding game on Sunday.

half, Jesus Feliciano singled, stole second base and scored on Robinson Cancel's single. In

and scored on pinch-hitter Jose Macias' sacrifice flyout. |
| New Orleans regained the lead at 5-4 in the 9th inning when Anderson Hernandez
singled and scored on Fernando Tatis' double with two outs. Hopf solo-homered to lead off the
bottom of the 9th inning to keep Nashville's hopes of a championship alive. |

second base when Drew Anderson laid down a sacrifice bunt. Nelson was intentionally walked and
Abad walked to load the bases. Nix grounded into a fielder's choice (Barnwell out at home plate)
and with the bases still loaded, Hopf singled to left field to bring home Nelson with the game
winning run. |

for arguing balls and strikes. Gwynn Jr. had just been called out on strikes. . . .
Probables for Thursday's game are LHP Adam Pettyjohn for the Sounds and former-Isotope
and current Zephyr LHP Jason Vargas. The series changes venue to New Orleans on Friday.

| Scott Seabol solo-homered to lead off the 2nd inning as Albuquerque tied up

MARLIN PROSPECTS IN TODAY'S GAME (With Season Stats):
Robert Andino: 142 G, 598 AB, 85 R, 166 H, 25 2B, 13 3B, 13 HR, 50 RBI, 40 BB, 129 K, 21 SB, .278 AVG
|
| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2003, Albuquerque
played their first playoff game in franchise history. The Nashville Sounds (AAA Pirates in 2003) scored twice in
the 8th inning to rally from a 5-4 defecit to defeat the Isotopes 6-5. Chad Allen homered and drove
in four runs for Albuquerque. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Marlins purchased the contract of P Paul Hoover from the Isotopes on Sunday. After
today's game was completed, the Marlins recalled OF Reggie Abercrombie, OF Brett Carroll,
P Ross Wolf and IF Robert Andino. . . .
OF Reggie Abercrombie was named the PCL Hitter of the Week. Abercrombie became
the second Isotope hitter in a row to win the weekly award (Joe Borchard last week) and the
third Isotope hitter to win the award in 2007. Abercrombie hit .414 (12x29) during the award
week with 4 homers and 7 RBI. . . .
The Isotope and Redhawks split the final series of the season 2-2. In
the season series, Oklahoma won 8 out of the 15 contests. All-time, Oklahoma leads the series
44-35. . . .
Out of the five seasons of play, 2007 was the worst for Albuquerque attendance-wise. Albuquerque
drew 563,686 fans for a per-game average of 8,053. The 2007 attendance was 19,153 fans shy of
the franchise record and the two gates lost in 2007 appear to have cost Albuquerque a chance of
establishing a new attendance record. The Isotopes have welcomed 2,880,307 fans
to Isotopes Park. . . . Albuquerque played in front of 1,047,207 fans at
home and on the road in 2007. The Isotopes have played in front of a more than a million fans each of the
last three seasons. . . .
Robert Andino did not start but later entered the game, making Andino the only Isotope to play in all
142 games in 2007. Because of the two cancellations in the schedule, Andino failed
to tie or establish a new Isotopes record for games played in a season. . . .
Some of the 2007 Isotopes had great seasons, inking their names into the Isotopes record books.
Players establishing new Isotope single-season franchise records included Val Pascucci (34 homers and 67
walks), Scott Seabol (105 RBI and 100 runs scored), Reggie Abercrombie (41 stolen bases),
Robert Andino (598 at-bats, 34 errors, 13 triples, and 166 hits), and Chris George (68 walks
allowed). . . .
Isotopes leading the league in 2007 were Robert Andino (142 games played, 598 at-bats, and 13
triples), Val Pascucci (34 homers), and Scott Seabol (290 total bases). . . .
The Isotopes led the league in triples (60), homers (180), and team slugging percentage (.478). . . .
Thanks to a record-setting month for the longball (August - 51 homers), Albuquerque ended
2007 with 180 homers, just three homers shy of tying a franchise record. . . .
Several Isotopes had hitting streaks of five or more games when the season ended - Reggie
Abercrombie (7), John Gall (5), and Scott Seabol (6). . . .
The Isotopes are 2-3 in season finales. . . . Isotopes manager Dean Treanor is on the verge
of a milestone. Today's victory was his 294th regular-season win in an Isotopes suit, so if Treanor returns
to the helm in 2008, it should not take very long for Treanor to win his 300th game. . . .
Dallas Braden of the Sacramento River Cats (AAA Athletics) is the final PCL Pitcher of the Year
award winner. Braden made a single start during the week, tossing a complete game shutout
while striking out 17 batters. . . .
Frank Kremblas of the Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers) was named the 2007 PCL Manager
of the Year. Kremblas skippered the Sounds to a 89-55 record and a division title in the PCL American Conference
Northern Division by 10 games over the second place Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs).

| Kevin West's two-run, 5th inning homer snapped a 1-1 tie and the Oklahoma
Redhawks (AAA Rangers) held off the Isotopes 3-2 in the regularly scheduled game for Sunday,
shortened to 7 innings due to the completion of a suspended game earlier in the day. With the

|
| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2006, Edgar
Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs and the Isotopes overcame a four-run defecit in the 1st inning
to defeat the Oklahoma Redhawks (AAA Rangers) 11-6 at Isotopes Park. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
In roster moves on Sunday, the Marlins recalled P Harvey Garcia, P Blake McGinley was transferred
from Class-AA Carolina to Albuquerque, P Jimmy Serrano was transferred from Albuquerque to
Carolina, and C Chris Ashby was activated off the disabled list. . . .
Albuquerque has been in playoff contention heading into the final series of the season three times
in their five years of play. Albuquerque clinched one division title on the final day of the 2003 season
and was eliminated from playoff contention on the second to the last day of the season in 2005 and 2007. . . .
Robert Andino went hitless to snap a 15-game hitting streak. Andino hit in 15 straight games twice
this season, establishing the longest hitting streaks of the season for Albuquerque. . . .
The crowd of 12,228 was the 27th largest regular-season crowd in Isotopes Park history. . . .
Pitching probables for the series finale for both clubs are RHP Ricky Nolasco (0-2, 15.09) for the
Isotopes and LHP Derek Lee (1-3, 3.51) for the Redhawks.

TIME: 2:46 ATT: 9,209 |
| In the completion of a suspended game from Saturday evening, Victor Diaz
went 5x6 at the plate, homered three times and drove in 8 runs as the Oklahoma Redhawks (AAA Rangers) crushed
the Isotopes 20-6. With the loss, Albuquerque failed on an opportunity to move into a first place
tie in the PCL American Conference Southern Division with the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets),
who had lost their game on Saturday evening. |
| Isotopes starter Nic Ungs could not get out of the second inning on Saturday evening. Kevin Mahar singled and took
second base on a passed ball. Adam Fox grounded out, advancing Mahar to third base and Drew
Meyer walked to put runners on the corners. Chris Stewart doubled to knock Mahar in and an out
later, Tug Hulett singled to drive in Meyer and Stewart. Victor Diaz followed with a two-run homer to
center field. Nate Gold singled and Kevin West reached on an error ahead of Mahar's three-run shot
to left-center field as the Redhawks led 8-0. |
| In the home half of the 2nd inning, Joe Borchard walked, Scott Seabol doubled down
the left field line, and Brett Carroll homered to left field as Albuquerque trailed 8-3. |
| Oklahoma added more runs to the scoreboard in the 3rd inning. Gold homered
with two outs and Freddy Guzman and Diaz on base. West followed with a solo homer as the
Redhawks led 12-3. |
| In the 4th inning, Meyer reached on a fielder's choice, Stewart doubled
down the left field line, and Hullett drove them both in with a double to center field to give Oklahoma
a 14-3 lead. |
| Carroll homered almost to the same place as his first at-bat in the bottom of
the 4th inning to make it a 10-run game at 14-4 just before the game was delayed due to lightning
and eventually suspended due to the failure of some of the light banks. |
| The game resumed on Sunday afternoon in the top of the 5th inning with
the first batter, Gold, at the plate. Oklahoma went scoreless in the 5th inning, and in the bottom
half of the inning, Reggie Abercrombie singled, advanced to third base on John Gall's double, and
scored on Joe Borchard's groundout. |
| Diaz homered in the 7th inning for his second homer of the game as
Oklahoma led 15-5. |
| The Redhawks had their final run outburst in the 8th inning. With one out,
Meyer singled, Stewart walked and Guzman singled to load the bases. Hulett singled to drive in
Meyer and with the bases still loaded, Diaz grand-slam homered to right field. |
| Carroll doubled, advanced to third base on a wild pitch, and scored on John
Baker's single in the 9th inning to close out the scoring in the game. |

| The Oklahoma Redhawks (AAA Rangers) and Isotopes were not playing baseball
on Saturday evening. Instead, it was the Redhawks taking batting practice during a game. The Redhawks
led 14-4 in the early stages of the 5th inning when lightning nearby caused the home plate umpre Casey
Moser to clear the field and delay the game due to lightning. Rains came and more lightning struck,
knocking out a few banks of lights and thus suspending the game. The game is scheduled to be
resumed Sunday afternoon at 2:30 PM with the regularly scheduled game, shortened to seven innings,
to follow. |

to lose this contest, the Isotopes will be one game back of the Zephyrs in the PCL American Conference
Southern Division standings with two games to go. If Albuquerque can mount a franchise-record
comeback, the Isotopes would be tied with the Zephyrs with two games left to play.
