Visalia Rawhide News Release


Visalia, CA - Adonys Perez pitched seven shutout innings and the Visalia Rawhide beat the Modesto Nuts 4-1 on Friday night at Valley Strong Ballpark.

Visalia (52-48, 17-17) wins their third in a row and clinches at least a series split against Modesto (54-46, 16-18). The Rawhide have either won or split seven consecutive home series and improve to 32-20 at Valley Strong Ballpark.

Perez worked the longest outing of his professional career needing just 68 pitches to complete seven frames. He scattered five hits over his outing with three strikeouts and no walks.

The Dominican Republic native earned his seventh win of the season, a Rawhide team best, and tied for the most of any pitcher in the California League.

The Rawhide scored first for the fifth consecutive game. Yassel Soler singled in the first frame and Carlos Virahonda soared a double off the right field wall to score Soler.

Ruben Santana followed with an RBI single to finish off the two run first frame.

Visalia added a run in the third. JD Dix tripled down the right field line and scored on a Trent Youngblood RBI single.

Santana scored the Rawhide's fourth run of the day leading off the sixth with a single and coming around to score on a throwing error.

Kyle Ayers made his home debut on the mound to close out the game. The 2024 D-backs draft pick tossed two innings without allowing an earned run.
