Albert Campos took a shutout into the eighth inning Monday night in Helena, but the Brewers rallied against him in the 8th inning, to beat the Ghosts 3-2 at Kindrick Field in the first game of a 4-game series.
Campos went eight innings for the second straight start, but he allowed three runs in the eighth, the last two coming on a 2-run homer by Cody Hawn, his league best 10th of the season, and was tagged with his third loss of the season. He struck out nine hitters, most by any Ghosts pitcher this season.
Jordan Ballard had two hits for the Ghosts, a double in the fourth inning, which helped setup the Ghosts first run, and a solo homer, his second of the season, in the sixth.
In the fourth, Blake McDade singled with one out, and got to third on Ballard's double. He scored on a ground out by Juan Crousset.
Jimmy Nelson picked up the win for Helena, he threw three scoreless innings, and retired the last nine batters he faced.
The Ghosts and Brewers will play the second game of their 4-game series on Tuesday night as Tyler Gagnon will take the hill for the Ghosts against righty Matt Miller. Both pitchers are among the top 10 in the Pioneer League in ERA, and Miller leads the league in wins with six, Gagnon has four.
