The Memphis Redbirds evened the series at two in game fourĀ of a six-game series against the Indianapolis Indians on Friday night at Victory Field by a final score of 11-8.

Memphis started out on fire offensively, scoring three runs in each the second, third and fourth innings to roar out to a 9-0 lead. Designated hitter Conner Capel led the charge and extended his on-base streak to 27 games by reaching base four times, including two hits and a pair of walks. Capel also scored three runs in the high-scoring victory.

RedbirdsĀ power came from a pair of newly found sources. Second baseman Delvin Perez crushed his first career Triple-A home run with a three-run blast to start the scoring in the second.Ā Third baseman Clint Coulter blasted his first home run of the season, a three-run shot to dead center field.

Alec Burleson and Scott Hurst finished with three hits apiece, while Burleson tacked on a pair of RBI knocks in the sixth and eighth innings to pad the Redbirdsā€™ lead.

Jordan Hicks appeared in the sixth and seventh innings for his second appearance of his MLB Rehab Assignment. The right-handed flame thrower topped out at 103 mph with his fastball to strike out the side in the bottom of the seventh and preserve a three-run Memphis lead.

Kyle Ryan (5-1) earned his team-leading fifth win with a clean inning in relief. Freddy Pacheco (S, 1) picked up his first save with Memphis this season, becoming the eighth Redbird arm to recorded a save this year.Ā
