Isotopes Drop Season Finale 11-0 To Sacramento | Albuquerque Isotopes News
Sacramento scored early and often en route to their season finale victory. A solo home run in the second inning plated the River Cats first run, while they added three more in the third. After another single run in the fourth, Sacramento put their second three-spot on the board in the fifth before pulling away with two more runs in the seventh and another in the eighth.
Eddie Butler wrapped up the minor league season in ugly fashion, allowing eight runs, five earned, on nine hits in five innings of work, walking one and striking out five.

Matt Flemer was shelled in the final game before the Rock Cats become the Hartford Yard Goats, allowing nine runs, all earned, on a whopping 15 hits in 3⅔ innings of work, walking one and striking out one. Noel Cuevas was the offensive star for New Britain, with a double and a home run.

Monday afternoon's game had major implications but when Greenville lost to Savannah while Asheville and Greensboro were in action in the eighth inning, it made the result meaningless. The loss by the Drive quickly circulated the stadium and Tourists fans and players began planning the celebration.
Forrest Wall was 4-for-5 in the season-ending loss, that turned irrelevant as Asheville clinched a postseason berth. The Tourists will play the Savannah Sand Gnats in a best-of-three series starting Wednesday.
