Isotopes finally win on the road

The Pacific Coast League's reigning pitcher of the week maintained his momentum in Albuquerque's 8-2 win at Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Randy Keisler (3-2, 4.11 ERA) won his third straight start by pitching into the sixth inning, helping the Isotopes (38-29) snap a three-game losing streak while taking a one-game lead over Round Rock in the PCL's American South.

Keisler has allowed just one earned run in his last 18 1/3 innings.

Aside from Keisler's 0-for-3 effort at the plate, every Albuquerque batter had at least one hit. Leadoff man Eugenio Velez had three hits and scored twice, while Russ Mitchell had a pair of doubles and the game-winning RBI.

Albuquerque opens an eight-game homestand tonight against Iowa.

Also, Isotopes manager Lorenzo Bundy was named the skipper for the PCL in the July 13 Triple-A All-Star Game in Salt Lake City at Spring Mobile Ballpark.

Ex-Pinto Moore throws no-hitter

Moriarty High School graduate Matt Moore threw minor league baseball's first complete-game, nine-inning no-hitter of the year Thursday.

A left-hander with Tampa Bay's Double-A affiliate in Montgomery, Ala., he struck out 11 Mobile batters while walking two in an 8-0 win.

Moore (4-3, 2.43 ERA) was selected by the Rays in the seventh round of the 2007 major league draft, the same year former St. Michael's star Kevin Chavez was drafted by Tampa Bay in the 34th round.

Moore recently was named one of minor league baseball's top prospects by Baseball America.

Now in his fifth professional season, the 21-year-old has averaged 12.7 strikeouts per nine innings in his career.

Lobos safety arrested for saggy pants

SAN FRANCISCO — A University of New Mexico football player's saggy pants led to his arrest and removal from an airplane at San Francisco International Airport.

Deshon Marman, 20, was boarding a flight Wednesday to Albuquerque when a U.S. Airways employee noticed his pants were below his buttocks, and his boxer shorts were showing.

Marman refused the employee's request to pull up his pants and failed to immediately comply when she asked him to get off the plane.

The football player was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, battery of a police officer and obstruction of a police investigation.
