Luke Appert hit a big three run homer that ended up being the difference in the Ports 5-4 win over Inland Empire.  Jose Pineda also hit one over the fence and his homer was a solo shot.

Bradley Davis was hit hard in his start and he gave up three runs in 3 2/3 innings.  Steven Bondurant picked up the win with two innings of no-hit relief.

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.

The Ports beat Bakersfield 7-2 and Luke Appert had a team high four hits in the game.  He drove in a run and scored while Cliff Pennington and Chad Boyd each drove in two runs.

Ben Jukich had a good enough start but because most of the Ports runs came later in the game, he didn’t get a decision.  He gave up just one unearned run on three hits with four strikeouts in five innings.  Steven Bondurant picked up the win with two shutout relief innings.
