Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2002 | 9:46 a.m.

Phil Hiatt hit a three-run homer, his 16th of the season, in the first inning to spark the visiting Las Vegas 51s to a 10-7 PCL victory over the Calgary Cannons on Tuesday night.

Hiatt's blast highlighted a four-run inning for the 51s, who stretched their lead to 10-3 in the eighth before withstanding Calgary's four-run ninth.

Chin-Feng Chen also homered for Las Vegas, hitting a solo shot in the fourth for his team-leading 25th. Six 51s had two hits apiece as the team banged out 14.

The teams continue their four-game series today at 6:05 p.m.
