Enright threw masterfully for Reno going 6.2 innings giving up 1 run on 6 hits with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk. The only blemish for Barry was a Chris Carter solo home run in the 6th inning and that was all the RiverCats would be able to muster up against Enright offensively.

Fire on Old Clear Creek Road contained; Highway 50 open
Thursday, September 8, 2011 - 10:36am

Update 1:30 p.m.: Fire crews have contained a fire that broke out this morning near Old Clear Creek Road near the top of Spooner Summit, and Highway 50 has reopened.

The fire was last reported to be about 1.5 acres in size, and there was one home in the area that was threatened. Light winds and cool temperatures helped firefighters get a handle on the blaze, with a helicopter dumping water to help out the hand crews on the ground.

The fire is about a mile from the top of Spooner Summit, along the upper portion of Old Clear Creek Road. This road has been cut off to vehicle traffic for several years, and in places has disintegrated into little more than a path. The area is used by many hikers and mountain bikers, and some people have been known to camp in the area.
