Allen Craig started the game 4-for-4 with four singles before flying out in his final at-bat with a chance to tie the Chihuahuas' record for hits in a game. Craig is batting .415 in 16 June games. Dillon Overton pitched four shutout innings to start the game and hasn't allowed any runs in 11 innings against Sacramento this season. Sacramento used seven pitchers Thursday, three of which lasted less than one inning.
