ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - The Albuquerque Isotopes completed a three-game sweep of the Memphis Redbirds with a 4-3 victory Friday night as Isotopes Park.

In the bottom of the first inning, Isotopes outfielder Dee Brown smacked a three-run home run into a packed berm area of the ballpark.  That came after the previous two batters walked.

In winning, the Isotopes set a new single game attendance record as 15,358 fans witnessed the game and post-game fireworks. The mark surpassed the previous record of 15,321 fans on June 23 when Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez was rehabbing in Albuquerque.

The Isotopes hit the road for nine games starting in Nashville Saturday night.
