It only took until the second inning for Sam Hilliard’s bat to crank out his sixth home run of the season — his fourth in the last three games — and put the Sim Rockies on the score board early in an Interleague win against the Sim Royals, 5-2.
A battle of the bats
Colorado’s offense continued its hot streak with the bats of Daniel Murphy, Trevor Story and Drew Butera. Murphy recorded his 18th double of the year to give the Sim Rockies a 2-0 lead to end the third.
