Stockton Ports News Release
VISALIA, Calif. - A two-homer night for Visalia, along with runs scoring on a balk and wild pitch, led to the Rawhide toppling the Ports 11-3 on Friday night for their fourth-straight win over Stockton.
The Rawhide got a run in the first and were threatening for more with runners at the corners, but the Ports sniffed out a delayed double steal as first baseman Nick Schwartz came home to get the runner at third caught in a run down to end the inning.
Visalia would get their first home run of the night in the second inning on Jackson Feltner's second home run in as many games. He ripped a line drive that just cleared the wall in left for a two-run blast to make it 3-0 Rawhide.
The Ports would get one back in the third when Dereck Salom hit a single up the middle as part of his four-hit night to score Darlyn Montero and make it a 3-1 game. The Rawhide wouldn't let Stockton get any closer however, as they would put together a four-run fourth to go up 7-1. There were a pair of RBI singles along with the balk and a wild pitch to complete the four-run frame.
They would put the game out of reach in the seventh when Ruben Santana hit a three-run homer out to left center for a 10-2 advantage. The Ports left the bases loaded in the top of the seventh, and scratched across a run in the eighth, though they would leave them loaded again.
