Sky Sox take the first of two

Sky Sox take the first of two

Gazette, The (Colorado Springs), Jul 10, 2010 by CHENG SIO

Matt Miller could always hit. On Saturday, he showed he had power, too.

Miller’s home run broke a tie and ignited a three-run fifth inning as the Colorado Springs Sky Sox beat the Reno Aces, 7-6, in the seven-inning first game of a doubleheader at Security Service Field.

After Miller, a career .313 hitter, launched Kevin Mulvey’s 2-0 pitch over the left field wall to begin the fifth, the Sky Sox made it 7-4 with RBI singles from Paul Phillips and Chris Frey. The insurance runs proved to be invaluable.

Reno scored two in the sixth and had the tying run on second base. But Scott Rice came on in relief and struck out Doug Deeds swinging to end the threat.

Both clubs plated three runs in the opening frame. The Sky Sox took a 4-3 lead on Chris Nelson’s RBI single in the second
