STOCKTON, Ca.- Lawrence Butler drove in Cooper Uhl with a single to left field with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the Ports to a 3-2 win over the San Jose Giants in front of 3,398 fans on the Fourth of July at Banner Island Ballpark.

The win earned the Ports a split of the six game set and snapped a streak of seven consecutive winning series for the Giants coming into play this week.

Down 2-0 after the top of the second inning, the Ports (23-31) cut into the San Jose lead with a run in the bottom half. Joshwan Wright singled to right-center field to lead off the frame and made it to third on a double by T.J. Schofield-Sam. Danny Bautista then drove Wright home with a sacrifice fly to center field to make it 2-1.

In the bottom of the sixth Wright tied the game with his first home run as a professional, a solo blast to left-center field to tie the game at two. Wright went 3-for-3 with two runs scored.

Ports' reliever Jose Mora (3-2) got the win for Stockton pitching a scoreless ninth and tenth, setting the stage for Butler's heroics. Mora and Ed Baram combined to fire five shutout innings in relief of starter Kumar Nambiar.

Ivan Armstrong (4-1) took the loss for San Jose, allowing an unearned run on one hit in 2/3 of an inning.

The Ports return to action on Tuesday when they begin a six game series in Modesto with the Nuts, with first pitch at 7:05 pm at John Thurman Field.
