REVIEW-JOURNAL
More Info

Blake DeWitt homered twice and drove in four runs as the 51s raced to an 8-0 lead after seven innings but then had to withstand an eighth-inning Colorado Springs rally for an 8-5 Pacific Coast League victory over the Sky Sox in Colorado Springs, Colo.

DeWitt hit solo home runs in the first and fifth innings and had a two-run double in the third as Las Vegas won its third straight game after dropping six in a row.
