A eighth inning comeback attempt by the Zephyrs fell short in a 4-3 loss that ended New Orleans’ season with a three game sweep at the hands of the Sacramento River Cats.  The three eighth inning runs came on a three run blast by Fernando Tatis but it wasn’t enough.

Jason Vargas took the loss with a tough start.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings.

The Zephyrs blew it in the ninth inning as they dropped to a two game deficit in their serie with the River Cats for the PCL Championship.  Carlos Muniz was tagged for those two runs in the ninth inning but the game winner actually came with Ryan Cullen throwing so he shares some of the blame.  It’s too bad because a nice start by Dave Williams went to waste.  He gave up just one run in seven innings.

Jesus Feliciano was the hitting star and he played a role in four of the Zephyr’s six runs.  He went three for four with a double, a homerun, three RBIs and two runs.
