Article: Sky Sox come back/ Colorado Springs rallies late after squandering lead

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox rallied for the tying run in the eighth inning and another in the ninth Sunday to bag a 4-3 win over Fresno on Mike Peeples' two-out, run-scoring single that plated Jose Flores.

"Fresno's rally (three runs in the seventh inning) burst our bubble a little bit," Sky Sox manager Chris Cron said. "But that's part of baseball. And the other part is coming back, which we did in the ninth.

"We got great starting and relief pitching, and clutch hits late in the game, when we needed it the most. Of course, if we'd have had a few more of those hits earlier we could have put them away. But that's the way it goes, and the important thing is that we won."
