Storm Chasers shortstop Raul A. Mondesi homered, drove in three runs and finished a single shy of hitting for the cycle, while 1B Balbino Fuenmayor recorded four hits and third baseman Hunter Dozier homered as Omaha pounded out 16 hits in a 13-6 rout over the Las Vegas 51s on Tuesday afternoon at Werner Park.

Mondesi (3-5, 2 R, 2B, 3B, HR, 3 RBI) slapped a double to left in the first, smashed a two-run triple to center in the fourth, and then launched a solo blast to right in the sixth to tally the first three legs of the cycle. The switch-hitting infielder struck out in his final at bat in the eighth in his bid to become the first Storm Chasers batter to hit for the cycle since Jimmy Paredes on May 12, 2014.

Trailing 2-0 to the 51s following an hour and seven minute rain delay, Omaha's offense erupted for nine runs in the fourth. The scoring spurt was highlighted by Fuenmayor's RBI ground-rule double to center, Mondesi's three-bagger, a pair of doubles from DH Tony Cruz, and capped by Dozier's two-run longball to left-center to put the Storm Chasers ahead 9-2.

Following Mondesi's big fly in the sixth, C Parker Morin laced a run-scoring single to left for his third RBI of the afternoon in the seventh. LF Travis Snider subsequently scorched a two-run single to right to put an exclamation mark on Omaha's tally at 13-3. Las Vegas would plate three runs in the ninth to ultimately narrow the final margin to seven.

Fuenmayor's (405, R, 2B, RBI) four knocks led all batters, while Mondesi (3-5, 2 R, 2B, 3B, HR, 3 RBI), Cruz (2-4, 2 R, 2 2B, RBI) and Snider (2-4, 2 R, 2B, 2 RBI, BB) each recorded a multi-hit effort for Omaha. Las Vegas CF Roger Bernadina (2-4), 3B T.J. Rivera (2-4, 2 R, 2B) and SS Gavin Cecchini (2-4, 2 R, RBI) each tallied two hits.

Storm Chasers starter Alec Mills (5.0 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, BB, 5 SO) earned his third win in five starts at the Triple-A level, while reliever Kevin McCarthy tossed three perfect frames of support. 51s relief man Beck Wheeler (1.2 IP, 8 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO) replaced starter Darin Gorski (2.0 IP, H, 3 SO) after the rain delay and suffered the defeat.

Omaha looks to clinch a series win in the third game of the two teams' four-game set Wednesday evening, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Werner Park. The Storm Chasers are anticipated to send LHP Jonathan Dziedzic (3-7, 4.83) to the hill, while Las Vegas is expected to counter with LHP Sean Gilmartin (9-4, 4.84).
