The excitement level at Historic Sam Lynn Ballpark reached a crescendo in the final at-bat.

The Bakersfield Blaze picked up a win at Historic Sam Lynn Ballpark, knocking off the Visalia Rawhide, 4-3. Starting pitcher Jimmy Smith played a key role in the triumph. Stefan Theodorakis earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 1-0.

The Blaze got a clutch hit from center fielder Juan Báez. In the bottom of the 11th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Blaze.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Smith.

The victory makes Bakersfield 7-4, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 2025.
