The win came in Game 8 of 12 straight against the Sky Sox in Ogden. Colorado Springs won Tuesday via Knockout Round after a 4-4 regulation tie. The two teams play again at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Colorado Springs (18-49, 9-11 second half) shortstop Marco Martinez hit a two-run homer to cap a five-run first for the visitors against Ogden (36-31, 10-10) starter Rolando Gutierrez Rosario.

Cole Jordan and Damian Stone traded RBI doubles in the fifth to break the shutout against Sky Sox starter Austyn Coleman but Zane Denton got those runs back with a two-run homer to send the game to the seventh-inning stretch at 10-2.

Bradley Pelle and Jordan hit consecutive solo homers in the bottom of the seventh to get things started with one out. Colorado Springs pitched around league-leading RBI man Chris Sargent to load the bases only to surrender a two-run single to Carmine Lane.

Two batters later, Sebastian Greico launched a three-run homer to keep piling on. But that only made the score 10-9. Elliott Good, who started the inning by striking out, kept things going with a two-out walk. True Fontenot, pinch-hitting for Pelle, reached on a throwing error by Martinez and the ensuing action was enough to score Good and tie it 10-10.

A pitching change in the eighth didn’t stop the scoring. Stone led off with a single and Connor Bagnieski followed with a two-run homer, Ogden’s fourth of the night, to give the Raptors their first lead at 12-10.

Nik Cardinal took the ball for the Raptors in the top of the ninth. With one out, Brett Roberts capped a five-homer night for Colorado Springs with a solo shot and a 12-11 score.

Quintt Landis put the tying run on base with a single, but the Raptors thrillingly ended the wild final three innings with a strikeout-throwout double play with Cardinal K-ing Denton and the catcher Lane throwing out a stealing Landis.
