Blaze Top Rawhide to Even Record
The Bakersfield Blaze defeated the Visalia Rawhide, 9-6, at Recreation Park. Bakersfield was led by 23-year old center fielder Juan Báez, who was 3-4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Chad Payling earned the save for Bakersfield, his 3rd of the year. Bakersfield goes to 12-12.

Had Adryão Gramacho not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Gramacho hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Blaze.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Blaze manager Joe McEwing. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
