In other baseball news:
ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH: Salem right-hander Brent Crowther was very impressive Monday, allowing the major-league Colorado Rockies no runs in a five-inning exhibition start for the Class AAA Colorado Springs club. The Sky Sox won the game 2-1.
Crowther started for the Rockies' top farm club and allowed only two hits and walked none with two strikeouts in a five-inning stint. He returned to the Salem club Tuesday and is scheduled to make his next Carolina League start over the weekend when Lynchburg visits Salem Memorial Stadium.
