Colorado Springs, Colo. » The Salt Lake Bees got some early offense Wednesday, scoring six runs in the first three innings against the Sky Sox. It was their one run in the ninth, though, that ultimately made the difference in Salt Lake's 7-6 victory.

Colorado Springs rallied with a combined four runs over the sixth and seventh innings, and scored another in the bottom of the ninth off Salt Lake's PCL All-Star closer, Jeremy Hill.

The Bees' run in the top half of the ninth -- with Bobby Wilson's single to right bringing home Brandon Wood -- therefore proved an invaluable insurance run.

Howie Kendrick led the Salt Lake offense, going 4-for-5 with a run and an RBI. Wood, Wilson, Reggie Willits and Ben Johnson each contributed two hits.

Bobby Mosebach earned the win, while Hill picked up his 17th save of the season -- despite allowing a run on two hits and a walk in a shaky ninth-inning effort.
