A hot afternoon saw the River Cats defeated 2-1 by the Omaha Royals in front of 8,292 fans at Raley Field on Sunday.
The Cats trail 2-1 in the four-game series and are now two games behind Fresno in the PCL Pacific South Division race.
Great pitching from Sacramento's Travis Banwart and Omaha's Anthony Lerew kept the game scoreless for six innings. The pitchers gave up four and five hits, respectively. A throwing error by Cats shortstop Eric Sogard in the top of the seventh eventually set up an RBI from Omaha's Cody Clark, allowing second baseman Kurt Mertins to score.
Omaha scored again with center fielder Jarrod Dyson in the top of the ninth, making it 2-0. The Cats got a solo home run from third baseman Dallas McPherson in the bottom of the ninth, but it was not enough to keep the Royals from a 2-1 victory.
The final game of the series is at Raley Field at 7:05 p.m. Monday. For tickets and more info: http://www.rivercats.com
