Thrower's Three-Run Triple Leads All-Pro Alumni To 7-6 Victory

Box Score

TUCSON, Ariz.-San Diego Padre Jake Thrower's bases loaded triple capped a five-run first inning, leading the Alumni to a 7-6 victory in Arizona's annual All-Pro Alumni Game.

The Alumni hold an 11-3-2 advantage in the series, which began in 1982. Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Curt Schilling served as the Alumni's guest manager.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Scott Erickson earned the win, allowing just one unearned run. Florida Marlins southpaw Ryan Moskau picked up the save with a perfect seventh inning. Freshman lefty Nathan Duarte took the loss for the Cats.

For Arizona, sophomore right fielder Shelley Duncan went two-for-two including a home run.

The 19th-ranked Cats (7-4) return to regular-season action on Friday, Feb. 11, when they take on Nevada at 3 p.m. at Sancet Field.
