Isotopes outpace 51s with 17-11 win

A pitching duel it was not.

The Albuquerque Isotopes secured a series victory over the Las Vegas 51s with a 17-11 win on Wednesday night. The two teams combined for 31 hits and 28 runs, making it the sixth highest scoring game in Isotopes team history.

Matt Flemer got the start on the mound for the Isotopes, and the 51s wasted no time handing it to him. In the first inning, Las Vegas scored four runs, beginning with an RBI double from first baseman Dominic Smith. Zach Borenstein singled to drive in Smith, and then stole home with Jose Lobaton at the plate following a David Thompson walk.
