The Ports used three pitchers in their 7-3 loss to Visalia.  All three games up at least two runs and Eric Sheridan took the loss.  He gave up two runs in 2 1/3 innings.

Justin Sellers went two for four with a double, a walk and a run.  David Castillo hit a solo homerun.

The poor pitching was a team effort as none of the four Ports’ pitchers used in this one could hold Bakersfield scoreless.  Eric Sheridan took the loss but only because he gave up the final run.

Anthony Recker was the hitting star.  He went two for four with a homerun, three RBIs and two runs.  Tommy Everidge had just one hit but it was a big three run homer.

Talk about a crazy game.  The Ports took a two run lead into the ninth only to see Modesto take the lead with three runs.  Then the Ports answered with a single run in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra frames before Cliff Pennington doubled home Frank Martinez to win it in the bottom of the eleventh.

Eric Sheridan picked up the win with some really nice relief pitching.  He gave up a walk with five strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings.

Steve Kleen was the hitting star in the Ports 7-4 win over Visalia.  He went two for four with an RBI and two runs.  Jose Pineda went one for two with a homerun and two runs scored.

Eric Sheridan picked up the win with 2 2/3 innings of relief.  He gave up a run on two hits and a walk with one strikeout.
