SALT LAKE CITY — Eight times this season, the Salt Lake Bees have been defeated by five or more runs.
There was the 11-4 loss to Albuquerque on April 8, a 7-2 shortfall to El Paso on April 28, and another 11-4 defeat, this one to Fresno, on April 30.
The Bees came up significantly short at times in the months of May and June as well, losing to Sacramento (7-1), Reno (6-1), Round Rock (10-5 and 16-4), Oklahoma City (6-1) and most recently, as in Friday night, Tacoma (17-1).
Almost every time the Bees have been served a dose of humility, however, they have bounced back in a big way the following contest, and it was no different Saturday night at Smith’s Ballpark.
