Bees End Home Season in Humiliation | Salt Lake City News

The Salt Lake Bees ended their home season with a brutal 5-1 series loss to the Round Rock Express, marking the first time Round Rock has swept a series in Salt Lake since 2021. After a rocky start with back-to-back losses and just three hits on Wednesday, the Bees found brief hope with a four-homer explosion and Joel Hurtado’s first Triple-A win on Thursday. But momentum faded fast — Friday’s nail-biter loss, Saturday’s 13-0 shutout, and Sunday’s heartbreak (9-6) sealed the fate. Still, bright spots emerged: Nelson Rada shattered the stolen base record, Hurtado delivered his best outing of the year, and Niko Kavadas earned Player of the Week honors. The final game drew a record 7,853 fans. Now, the Bees head to Albuquerque for their last series — aiming to finish strong before the offseason.
