Stockton, CA. - Another quiet night by the bats contributed to the Nuts 6-0 loss against the Ports on Thursday night at Banner Island Ballpark.

It is the third shutout suffered by the Nuts (11-36; 34-83) in their last four road games and their 15th consecutive road loss.

Josh Bowman (W, 5-7) started for the Ports (32-15; 69-48) and dominated over seven shutout innings allowing just three hits while striking out four and walking none.

After Burke navigated through trouble in the fifth, he gave up a first-pitch long ball in the sixth to Josh Brugman. Burke worked 5.2 innings, allowing four runs overall on five hits while walking three and striking out three.
