For the second straight night, the Casper Ghosts would grab an early lead, but it wasn’t enough, as they came up short for the fifth straight game. This time it came against the Ogden Raptors as they lost 6-4 at Lindquist Field.
The Ghosts would jump ahead 3-0 early. Blake McDade homered for the first time this season with a man on and 2 outs to give the Ghosts a 2-0 lead, then in the third Ryan Casteel grounded out with the bases loaded, driving in Brett Tanos to make it 3-0 Casper.
Ogden wouldn’t stay down for long. They got a run back in the 3rd with a 2 out rally, and they would tie the game in the fourth. Jonathan Garcia homered to lead off the inning to make it 3-2, then Leon Landry later tied the game with an RBI single with 2 out.
The Ghosts would regain the lead in the 7th, as Jordan Ballard led off the inning with a solo homer, but Ogden would comeback with 2 unearned runs in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead, and they would add an insurance in the bottom of the 8th.
Shawn Tolleson struck out the side in the 9th to preserve the win for Ogden 6-4. The Raptors have now won 4 straight, while the Ghosts have lost five straight. The two teams will finish their 2-game series Friday night, as Tyler Gagnon will take the hill for the Ghosts against lefty Antonio Castillo.
