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.

Ben Jukich gave up four first inning runs and that’s all Inland Empire needed to pull out this game 4-3.  He gave up the four runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in five innings.

Frank Martinez went one for three with a double and two RBIs.  Cliff Pennington went two for five with a run.

The Ports lost 13-6 and a couple of pitchers took it on the chin in the loss.  Ryan Webb gave up six runs in six inning and Steven Bondurant took the loss and he was shelled for five runs on five hits and a walk in just 1/3 of an inning.

Tommy Everidge and Frank Martinez both went deep in the loss.  Both homeruns were two run shots.

Frank Martinez had a huge day in the Ports 5-4 come from behind win over Bakersfield.  He went three for four with a double, three RBIs and a run.

Ryan Webb was solid in his start but he didn’t get a decision.  He gave up one run on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Tommy Everidge had a great day at the plate in the Ports 9-5 win.  He was a perfect four for four with two RBIs and a run.  Cliff Pennington walked three times and he scored twice while Frank Martinez hit his first homerun of the season.

Vincent Mazzaro picked up the win despite a lackluster start.  He gave up four runs on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts in six innings of work.
