Gamblers Trip Utes, 4-3, in Extra Innings
The Utah Utes could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Cesar Gutierrez into a win. Instead, the Las Vegas Gamblers prevailed, 4-3. Gutierrez threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball. Las Vegas reliever Jack Shaw got the win, raising his record to 6-3. Taylor Rodgers was tagged with the loss. Las Vegas is now 53-63, Utah 61-55.

Mike McLeod, who won the Jeffrey Lamar Lewis Award in 2018, had a direct impact on the outcome. McLeod contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the 13th inning to put Las Vegas up, 4-3.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Utah skipper George Kird, "and it cost us."
