Utah finally wins

The Utes are in a terrible slump, losing their last 3 and 8 of the last 10. Ryan Ballard still leads the league in homers with 30, but hasn't hit many lately.

Utah took a 5-4 lead into the 9th on a strong pitching performance by Armando Morales, who faced 37 batters throwing 140 pitches. The Utes had only one pitcher available in the bullpen, long reliever and spot starter Ty Aberson. The Utah bullpen has been depleted due to terrible recent starting performances. Aberson pitched out of an 8th inning jam, but in going for his first save he gave up a 2 out, 9th inning homer to Optimus Minor to tie the game.

Aberson became the winning pitcher when in the bottom 9th rookie Doug Dodson send the first pitch from Hank Jenks over the left field wall.

UUUUUUUUUTE!
