The Loons came back from a 4-2 deficit to take care of Clinton 8-5.  Austin Gallagher had just one hit but it was a two run blast and Anthony Hatch went two for four with a run and two RBIs.

Justin Miller picked up the win and he improved to 3-2.  He gave up four unearned runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts.  Javy Guerra struck out two in a shutout ninth and he picked up his eleventh save of the season.

Softball is in full gear and I’m breaking in a new Rawlings glove.  I’ve moved from first to the outfield so I needed a good mitt.  So far so good.  I also swung with a Demarini bats for the first time.  Man those things really live up to the hype.  The ball was just exploding off my bat.

Inland Empire’s hunt for the California League championship came to an end in an 8-2 blowout loss to Lake Elsinore.  Cody White had a rough start and he took the loss.  He gave up three runs on six hits and two walks with one strikeout in four innings.

Shane Justis went three for four with a double and an RBI.  Jaime Pedorza went three for four with two doubles and a run.

Inland Empire scored seven runs and they outhit Lake Elsinore but it wasn’t enough in a 10-7 loss as their series will now go into a winner take all game three tomorrow.  Jamie Hoffmann got it done again with a nice game.  He went four for five with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.  Joshua Bell went three for five with an RBI and three other Inland Empire hitters had two hits a piece.

Francisco Felix took the loss although he was hardly the only culprit.  Four of the five pitchers used in the game gave up runs with Garrett White getting the hardest.  He gave up three runs in just 2/3 of an inning.

Inland Empire took a 1-0 lead in their series with Lake Elsinore in a fourteen inning game that clocked in at four hours.  The game winner was an RBI double by Jamie Hoffman that pushed home the winning run.

Javy Guerra was awesome in four innings of shutout relief.  He did give up two hits and two walks but he struck out six and he more importantly, he picked up the win.

Michael Gardner improved to 5-4 on the season with a decent enough start in the Raptors 6-3 win over Missoula.  He gave up three runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Jaime Ortiz went two for four with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.  Alex Garabedian doubled twice and drove in three in the win.

Curt Bradley singled home Alfredo Silverio in the bottom of the ninth inning that capped off a two run rally to win it for the Dodgers.  Silverio finished the game with a homerun, three RBIs and two runs while Joseph Becker went three for five with two runs in the 7-6 win.

Ramon Paredes picked up the win with a perfect ninth inning.  The win pushed his record to 2-0 on the season.

Miguel Ramirez gave up an unearned run in the ninth inning as the Loons lost to Chiefs 5-4.  The loss dropped Ramirez to 2-1 on the season and it didn’t help that Joshua Wall was knocked around for four runs in 4 1/3 innings.

Josh Bell tripled and drove in two runs.  Eduardo Perez went one for two with two walks and two runs.

Marlon Arias fell to 10-3 on the season with a tough start in Inland Empire’s 8-2 loss to Lake Elsinore.  He gave up six runs (five earned) on ten hits and two walks with three strikeouts in four innings of work.

Andrew Locke was the hitting star in the loss.  He went two for four with a triple and a run.

The Suns padded their league lead to four games with a 3-2 win over Carolina.  Clayton Kershaw, as expected, had a tough time with his big jump all the way to Double A but he put together a worthy start none the less.  He gave up two runs on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.  It’s nice to see them testing the left hander this early with some talent that should be over his head.

Ramon Troncoso improved to 7-2 with a shutout ninth inning.  Anthony Raglani walked twice and scored two runs while Juan Gonzalez singled and drove in two.

Francisco Feliz gave up a run in the thirteenth as Inland Empire lost to the Quakes 10-9.  This was after a very rough start by Javy Guerra, who gave up seven runs in 3 2/3 innings.

Russell Mitchell doubled, drove in three runs and scored.  Shane Justis went three for seven with a double and three runs.
