CALGARY, Alb. – After an 18-run, 22-hit performance by the T-Bones on Sunday, Jordy Alexander silenced the Kansas City bats, allowing two runs in six innings of work as Calgary improved to 6-1 against the T-Bones this season with a 4-2 victory at Foothills Stadium.

Finding themselves down early in each of the last two games, it was Calgary’s turn to get on the board first Monday as Justin Colson’s two-run home run in the first gave the Vipers the early 2-0 lead.

After extending his career-long hitting streak to 14 games on a one-out double in the third, Rob Watson would come around to score three batters later on Calvin Pickering’s RBI single that brought Kansas City within one.

Kansas City had a chance to tie or take the lead in the fifth with runners at first and second with no outs, but Alexander struck out three T-Bones in a row to end the inning without any damage.

Calgary restored their two-run lead in the fifth on Darryl Brinkley’s RBI single that made the score 3-1 in favor of the Vipers.  Another RBI single, this time by Carlos Duncan, extended Calgary’s lead to three.

The T-Bones came within two of the Vipers on Al Benjamin’s RBI single in the seventh that scored Rob Watson to make the score 4-2, but that was all the Calgary bullpen would give up to win game four of the five-game series with Kansas City.

After surrendering nine hits in each of his last three starts, Chris Krawczyk gave up a career-high 10 hits in six innings of work, allowing four runs with two strikeouts and a walk in the losing effort.  Travis Schlichting pitched to two batters, striking out both before Danny Core came in to pitch a scoreless ninth.  Alexander went six and one-third innings, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out eight to earn the victory.
