Salt Lake Bees
Box Score
The Good: Hank Conger (.280) hit two home runs on the night, one that tied the game in the top of the ninth before Bobby Cassevah gave up a hit to Reno's Ed Rogers in the bottom of the ninth that cost the Bees the game. Hank drove in three runs on the night. Pete Bourjos (.345) had two hits from the leadoff spot and Freddy Sandoval clubbed three hits on the night, including a triple, while driving in two runs.
The Bad: Daniel Davidson gave up six runs on six hits in six innings of work. A true mark of the beast! Bobby Cassevah couldn't hold the tie in the bottom of the ninth after his first appearance since being demoted to Salt Lake.
The Noteworthy: Mark Trumbo was back at 1B on Thursday night, with Robb Quinlan at the DH spot in the lineup. With the demotion of Terry Evans to Salt Lake, one has to wonder who's getting bumped off the roster. The Bees have a plethora of outfielders currently.
Arkansas Travelers
Box Score
The Good: The Travelers home opener didn't have too many good things to talk about after the game concluded, other than festivities and excitement that surround any home opener. Michael Kohn pitched another scoreless frame in relief. Kohn has yet to give up a run in three innings of work. In fact, not only has he struck out five in those three scoreless frames, but Kohn has yet to give up a hit too. The starting pitcher Jayson Miller didn't pitch that bad, giving up two earned runs in 5 innings of work. On offense, Efren Navarro had three hits on the night.
The Bad: The Travelers had just five hits on Thursday night's 11-1 loss to the Oakland A's Double-A affiliate, the Midland Rockhounds. What was really bad was the five errors committed by the Travelers defense. Brossman committed two errors, Miller and Rosario had an error each.

The Noteworthy: The only real threat of the night from the Travs came in the sixth inning when they loaded the bases on Romine's single, an error by Weeks at second base and Brossman's walk against Hounds reliever Justin Souza. Designated hitter Paul McAnulty briefly brought the jammed crowd of 7,144 to their feet with a high drive that Brown caught at the fence in right-center. The Travs had to settle just for McAnulty's sacrifice fly and left two men on base.
