Ghosts fall short in series finale at Ogden

The Ghosts dropped their first series of the 2010 season on Monday night with a 7-4 loss to the Ogden Raptors in front of 2,842 fans at Linquist Field

The Raptors took the lead in the third against Albert Campos. With two outs, Chance Gillmore singled, then Jake Lemmerman reached on an error. After that Mike Pericht worked a walk, and then Jonathan Garcia made the Ghosts pay by hitting a grand slam over the wall in left field to give them a 4-0 lead.

However, before you knew it, the Ghosts had tied the game after batting around in the top of the fourth. Christhian Adames led off the inning with a walk, and would get to third on a double by Corey Dickerson. Adames would score on a wild pitch, and with one out, Dickerson would score on a single by Blake McDade. That made it 4-2 Raptors. With 2-outs, Juan Crousset would single to get McDade to second, then the Ghosts would load the bases, and the Ghost would tie the game when David Hernadez would reach on an error by the second baseman Casio Grider, but as quick as they tied, the Raptors regained the lead even quicker.

Steve Domecus would homer to left field on the first pitch of the bottom of the fourth to give the Raptors a 5-4 lead, and they would add two more in the 6th to make it 7-4.

The Ghosts would have chances in both the 7th and 8th, but could not push across another run.

The loss drops them to 5-3 on the season, and they finish the first road trip of the season at 3-2.

The Ghosts return home on Tuesday night for the first game of a seven game homestand against the Idaho Falls Chukars. Tyler Gagnon gets the start for the Ghosts opposite lefty Scott Alexander.
