The Raptors (5-7) travel Monday ahead of a six-game series in Boise against the Hawks (7-5). Boise is led by former Ogden manager Kash Beauchamp, who returned to managing this season.

Rocky Mountain, who opened with two weeks against the semi-homeless Northern Colorado Owlz, lead the Pioneer League with a 10-1 record. Yuba-Sutter and Idaho Falls are tied in second at 9-2, with Boise, Glacier, Missoula and Oakland all 7-5.

Ogden leads the league in attendance at a 3,388 average in six games, with Boise averaging 3,237. Yuba-Sutter (in Marysville, California) had 2,857 per night in the opening week.

Outfielder Damian Stone leads the Raptors with a .409 batting average, with Connor Bagnieski (.378) and True Fontenot (.362) also hitting well. Ogden’s seven home runs are the second-fewest in the league behind 1-10 Northern Colorado’s four homers.

SUN: HIGH WHEELERS 10, RAPTORS 5

Miguel Hernandez turned in a winnable start for Ogden in the series finale Sunday afternoon but bats and bullpen support didn’t deliver against Yuba-Sutter starter Christian Womble.

Womble allowed one run in his six-inning start for the visitors, pitching around four walks by allowing just two hits. That one run came in the fifth when Maikol Perez hit an RBI groundout to score True Fontenot.

Hernandez left the game with Ogden trailing just 3-1; the righty allowed three earned runs on five hits, striking out six and walking three in five innings. Bobby Lada hit a solo homer in the first, and Parker Coddou (first inning) and Cooper Hext (fourth) added RBI singles for the 3-1 margin.

Mason Bryant followed Womble with a scoreless seventh. Ogden tallied four runs on seven of its 10 total hits in the final two innings, too late to match Yuba-Sutter’s seventh.

All five runs (four earned) in Yuba-Sutter’s seventh inning were charged to Shawn Triplett, who recorded two outs. River Orsak led off with a double, Lada singled him in, and Cuba Bess hit a two-run homer in succession. A 3-1 game had become 8-1, and then 10-1 in the top of the eighth against Ogden pitcher Kyler Stancato.

SAT: HIGH WHEELERS 9, RAPTORS 8

The Raptors gave up a solid lead and failed to tie the game with ample opportunity late to lose Saturday.

Chris Sargent’s first-inning, two-run homer had Ogden up 2-1, but Hext and Orsak homered in the next two innings to put the High Wheelers up 4-2.

Then a four-run fifth inning had the Raptors ahead 8-4 with an RBI double from Fontenot, a two-RBI single from Carmine Lane, and Damian Stone singling in one more.

But Ogden pitcher Nico Saltaformaggio suffered from his own error in the sixth, a one-out throwing mistake that eventually allowed for Orsak to hit a two-out, two-run home run to get the High Wheelers to an 8-7 margin.

Ogden couldn’t hold on when Brett Erwin surrendered three straight hits and the lead to open the seventh inning: a Bess solo homer, a Gio Brusa triple and a Hext single to put the visitors ahead 9-8.

Sargent got things cooking in the bottom of the ninth with a leadoff single, and walks from Elliott Good and Fontenot loaded the bases with no outs — but the Raptors couldn’t get the ball out of the infield or plate the tying run from 90 feet away.

Carter Mize grounded to the pitcher, who threw home to get a pinch-running Denver Blinn for the first out, Lane flew out to the shortstop for the second out, and Kenny Oyama grounded out to first base, ending the game.

Orsak drove in four for Yuba-Sutter. Sargent batted 3 for 4 to lead Ogden.
