Modesto, CA. - A pair of Modesto Nuts' errors led to their 2-1 loss against the Stockton Ports on Tuesday night at John Thurman Field.

In the sixth, the Ports (58-56; 20-24) had runners at the corners with Devin Burke on the mound in relief for the Nuts (59-54; 26-18). Burke tossed an errant pickoff throw to first which allowed Jacob Nottingham to score.

In the eighth, Matt Pierpont (L, 5-4) allowed a leadoff single, but induced a potential double-play grounder to second baseman Wilson Soriano who whiffed on it putting two runners in scoring position. The eventual winning run scored on Nottingham's sac fly.

In the ninth, the Nuts loaded the bases, but Correlle Prime bounced into a game-ending double play against Corey Walter (S, 3/5).

Daniel Mengden (W, 4-3) tossed seven strong innings allowing just three hits while striking out six.
