Modesto, CA. - Collin Ferguson capped a six-run seventh to help carry the Modesto Nuts to a 10-4 win over the Stockton Ports on Tuesday night at John Thurman Field.

With the game locked at two apiece, the Nuts (3-3; 29-47) started their tie-breaking effort when Omar Carrizales ripped his second triple of the night to start the seventh. Carrizales finished 5-for-5 with a RBI and three runs. Forrest Wall followed and smacked the go-ahead RBI single off Ports' (3-3; 30-46) reliever Victor Veliz (L, 0-1). Wall worked his way to third with a balk and stolen base, but Veliz struck out the next two.

The barrage continued after that. Dom Nunez smacked a RBI triple. He drove in a pair as part of a 2-for-4 night. Josh Fuentes followed with a RBI single. He went 2-for-5. Max White put runners on the corners with a single that knocked Veliz out of the game. The first batter Corey Miller faced was Collin Ferguson who smashed a no-doubt, three-run homer to turn a tight contest into a laugher.

Yency Almonte allowed back-to-back RBI doubles in the second inning of his start for the Nuts but that was it. The righty worked six frames, struck out six and walked two.

Jake McGee (W, 1-0), on MLB rehab, worked a perfect seventh inning.
