Stockton Ports News Release
STOCKTON, Calif. - A five-run fourth powered the Fresno Grizzlies to a 7-2 win over the Ports on Saturday night, giving them a four-games-to-one advantage in the six-game series.
Nathan Dettmer pitched well in his start, allowing just one run in three innings of work, but was on a pitch count after working an inning on Tuesday. The Grizzlies would get to the Ports Corey Avant, with a pair of walks being followed by a three-run homer from catcher Darius Perry into the BBQ Bullpen to put the Grizzlies up 4-0.
A base hit followed by a triple from Caleb Hobson plated another run for a 5-0 Fresno lead, and then the Grizzlies executed a delayed double steal that brought in Hobson for a 6-0 advantage.
Stockton would answer and make it a game again when Nate Nankil hit a two-run homer out to right field on a laser beam, oppo-taco to the back on the lawn down the right-field line for his second homer of the season, cutting the deficit to 6-2.
But the Grizzlies would go back up by five in the fifth inning when reliever TJ Czyz issued four-straight walks to produce another run for Fresno and put them up 7-2. The Ports would threaten on multiple occasions later in the game, but would strand six base runners and had two rallies end on double plays.
UP NEXT:
The series finale is scheduled for 2:09 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, with the Grizzles rolling out Jace Kaminska (1-0, 0.00) against the Ports Tom Reisinger (0-0, 2.25). It's Family Day at the ballpark, as kids will get to run the bases after the game.
