Despite drawing seven walks, Salt Lake struggled with runners in scoring position, converting just two of eight opportunities and leaving eight men on base.
On the mound, the Bees faced challenges. Luis Ledo allowed five runs over five innings, including a three-run home run to Wade Meckler in the fourth. Adam Cimber added to the deficit in the eighth inning, surrendering two more runs. The River Cats capitalized on these opportunities, building a lead that proved insurmountable.
Looking ahead, the Bees aim to rebound in the series finale against the River Cats on Sunday afternoon, seeking to secure a series win and extend their season-long homestand.
