The Grizzlies picked up where they left off on offense, but couldn’t overcome the dead arms as they lost 14-9 to the Bees. George Kontos was the opener and he was in the showers by the middle of the second as Salt Lake strafed him for six runs and seven hits in the space of 10 batters. The loss went to Henderson Alvarez3, who gave up two in three innings on four hits, including a homer.

Garcia, Sanchez, and Ryan Zimmerman each had two hits to lead the Harrisburg offense.
