Colorado Springs, CO (AP) - Flagstaff stayed hot as they took two of three in Colorado Springs to open up their road trip.
Flagstaff ran their winning streak to 11 games on Friday night with an 11-7 victory over last-place Colorado Springs. Roberto Geronimo’s grand slam in the eighth keyed a seven-run inning as the Hops pulled away.
Colorado Springs led this one 2-0 and Sam Gonzalez had a no-hitter going heading into the fifth inning. Emmitt Hampton singled and Robbie Westbrook doubled to open the inning. Oscar Aleman tied the ballgame with a two-run single and Arturo Mardones followed that with a two-run home run as the Hops flipped the script to go up 4-2.
The Hops would then hit three home runs in the eighth to go up 11-3. Geronimo hit the grand slam with Oscar Aleman hitting a solo home run and Forrest Owen hitting a two-run shot.
Colorado Springs would get a few back off of Samuel Espinoza and Pedro Macias to make the final a bit more respectable.
Newcomer Jamie Case homered in his Snow Sox debut.
This game featured seven home runs in a game in which the wind was blowing in. The thin air of Colorado Springs is a hitters paradise.
The winning streak is over. On Saturday evening Mike Stoneridge and the Snow Sox put an end to the Hops 11 game winning streak as they handed the Hops a 7-2 defeat. Hank Harmond homered twice to help lead the way, leading the Snow Sox to the win.
Flagstaff jumped out to a 2-0 lead through five innings, thanks to Josh Ortega. He homered in the third and had an RBI double in the fifth.
Shoe-Lace O’Tying started but had to lead the game in the second inning with leg pain. Angelo Chacin came on in relief and pitched well until the sixth. Hank Harmond homered to left to open the inning. Gonzalez singled to right and Donnell Marcus doubled. Sam Varela came on in relief and the first pitch he threw he surrendered a two-run double to Todd Austin that put Colorado Springs ahead, 3-2. Juan Caceras would add an insurance run with an RBI groundout as the Snow Sox scored four in the inning.
Hank Harmond would hit a solo home run in the seventh off of Varela to make it 5-2. Juan Caceras would add a two-run homer in the eighth to put the home side up 7-2.
Mike Stoneridge (1-2) would pick up his first win in 2023, tossing seven innings and allowing two runs on only four hits. He struck out two and walked two.

On Sunday afternoon the Hops rallied late for a 9-1 victory, scoring two in the seventh and seven in the eighth to win the series. Ryan Pressley pitched 7 1/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits, while striking out six as Flagstaff improved to (18-4).
Colorado Springs (8-15) got a really good pitching performance from Brian Chin, until the seventh inning. He allowed only two hits in the first six innings as the Snow Sox lead 1-0. Their lone run came in the fourth on a Juan Caceras RBI double.
In the seventh the Hops finally broke through. Arturo Mardones singled home Roberto Geronimo, who had doubled. Forrest Owen and Art Mason singled to load the bases and Leandro Lugo singled to left to score Mardones, but Owen was thrown out at the plate to end the inning.
In the eighth, the Hops made two quick outs, then scored seven runs all with two outs. Roberto Geronimo singled home Robbie Westbrook, who had walked and stolen second. Oscar Aleman doubled and Arturo Mardones was intentionally walked to load the bases. Isaac Nettles, who was just recalled form Albuquerque, lined a pinch-hit single to center to score Geronimo and Aleman to make it 5-1.
