Salt Lake Bees catcher Colby Fitch stepped to the plate with a runner on first and two outs in the ninth inning of a tie game, and he deposited a Jake Bird offering onto the right-field berm for a two-run blast as the Bees defeated the Isotopes 7-5 on Friday night at Smith’s Ballpark in Salt Lake City.
