Ex-'Tope Aguila Haunts Albuquerque
From Journal Reports
METAIRIE, La. — It just isn't the Isotopes' year. In fact it's a year for ex-Isotopes who now play for New Orleans to beat up on their old team.
This time it was former Isotope Chris Aguila's RBI double in the 10th inning against Brandon Villafuerte to score the winning run in the Zephyrs' 3-2 victory over the Isotopes in the finale of a four-game series on Monday.
The loss was the third straight for Albuquerque (43-59), negating its previous three-game win streak and sending it to a franchise-low 16 games under .500.
The Isotopes begin an eight-game homestand tonight with the first of four games against Sacramento (7:05 p.m., KNML-AM 610).
Spoiled in the defeat was the 7 1/3 shutout innings from right-hander Daniel Barone, who exited with a 1-0 lead.
Albuquerque upped that advantage to 2-0 in the ninth inning on Chase Lambin's triple and Alberto Concepcion's RBI single. Then New Orleans rallied to tie it, getting the two runs on a single by another former Isotope, Valentino Pascucci.
